Just say, "Yes, I believe 'office under the United Ststes' only applies to appointed positions, and therefore the emoluments clause and the impeachment disqualification clause do not apply to any elected officials." Why make everyone play guessing games?

Well for starters I didn’t say anything about the emoluments clause. And I certainly don’t believe that neither clause applies to elected officials. I have no earthly idea where that even came from.

I’ve been perfectly clear that POTUS is NOT an “officer of the United States” per SCOTUS jurisprudence.

What in my post did you find to be cryptic? I was being accusatory, as you are undoubtedly aware of the difference in wording between holding “office under the United States “ and being an “officer of the United States”.


You’re just choosing to ignore it.
