Why a third emoluments lawsuit?

Trump often complains that it is not fair for him to give up his businesses. The Constitution does not require him to — but it does require him to seek consent. Trump’s refusal to provide transparency goes to the heart of the problem the emoluments clause was seeking to address — secret conflicts and hidden interests that could influence the president.

.. Ironically, Republican could very well offer that approval, but of course they want no part in forcing Trump to disclose what he owns.
