There are already lots of legal experts who have weighed in on this including Richard Painter, who was Chief Ethics Counsel for George W. Bush, and Norman Eisen, who was Chief Ethics Counsel for Barack Obama.
They have both been very vocal on the issue.
Google it.
I'm sure that was different. Somehow.The Obamas reported about $400,000 in salary from his position as president and about $56,000 in income derived from Mr. Obama’s book sales.
