There are now 3 of these emoluments clause lawsuits. With all the people talking about the issue, I was wondering why this was the first lawsuit to be filed on the issue. Apparently, it wasn't. There was one filed back in January "on behalf of an ethics watchdog and Trump’s business competitors" Then after this one was filed, the democrats in congress filed another one. I had heard about the planning for one of these lawsuits way back in February from watching a town hall meeting by a democrat. When this one was filed, I wondered about the reason for the timing.
