the Constitution’s foreign emoluments clause, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, which states: “And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
