Read a random definition: illegal

A quick definition of Emolument Clause:

The Emolument Clause is a rule in the U.S. Constitution that says government officials cannot accept gifts or titles from other countries. It also prohibits them from having titles of nobility. This is to prevent any conflicts of interest or influence from foreign powers.

A more thorough explanation:

The Emolument Clause is a provision in the United States Constitution that prohibits government officials from accepting gifts, titles, or other benefits from foreign powers. This clause is found in Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution.

For example, if a foreign government were to offer a U.S. government official a large sum of money in exchange for favorable treatment, that official would be in violation of the Emolument Clause. Similarly, if a foreign government were to offer a U.S. government official a title of nobility, such as a knighthood, that official would also be in violation of the clause.

The Emolument Clause is designed to prevent government officials from being influenced by foreign powers and to ensure that they act in the best interests of the United States. By prohibiting the acceptance of gifts and titles from foreign powers, the clause helps to maintain the integrity and independence of the U.S. government.
