Wildwood Crest - In January 2011, Republicans in Congress read the Constitution on the floor of the House of Representatives. The reading of the full Constitution - for the first time in the history of the House - came about in recognition of the influence of the Tea Party, which helped send scores of new members to the chamber. In October 2019, President Donald Trump claimed he's receiving unfair scrutiny because of the "phony emoluments clause," which has been part of the Constitution since it was written by the founding fathers. Maybe Republicans need to go back and read it again.
