SRES 242 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution condemning the private business agreements of President Donald J. Trump with foreign governments for posing unacceptable conflicts of interest, affirming such agreements violate the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution of the United States, and demanding the transfer of any proceeds from such agreements to the United States Government.

This Senate resolution (SRES 242) condemns President Trump's private business deals with foreign governments - such as a $5 million Oman hotel project and a $5.5 billion Qatar golf resort - as unconstitutional conflicts of interest. It asserts these agreements violate the Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits the President from accepting payments from foreign governments without Congressional consent. The resolution demands that any proceeds from these deals be transferred to the U.S. government. As a non-binding resolution, it expresses the Senate's position but does not create new legal requirements or enforceable actions.
