The Emoluments Clause has gotten a lot of press and coverage, but the fact that the President is supposed to obtain consent from Congress has gotten much less.

Trump violates the Clause and ignores the consent clause. The GOP controlled Congress is ignoring the consent requirement as well. That is further enabling Trump’s constitutional violations on a daily basis.

What percentage would be required to “consent”? Is Congress (both houses?) required to take it up?
