With many people -- Democrats and Republicans -- suggesting that Hillary end all involvement with the Clinton Foundation due to conflicts of interest, what would happen to Trump's empire if he became President?

If Trump were not to step down from his businesses' executive positions, how would they be run? If he can't even leave the White House grounds to get coffee, how could he see a client?

Dick Cheney compromised by keeping his stock in Haliburton but donating the capital gains he made during the Iraq War.

He'll blow off living at the White House. He's not about to give up those luxury digs in NY.

NO us president is allowed to be In Charge of any of their financial dealings.

He will have to turn over the running of his companies to his Children. Like the Clintons did with the Foundation.

Trumps companies should not be able to sign any new government contracts, and The Clinton foundation should have to give up lobbying.

But I see no reason that Chelsea can't run the Clinton Foundation.

The Clintons never did give up control of the CF. They claim that they will if Hillary wins, the gods help us.

But letting their daughter, who no longer lives with them do it should square with current ethics rules in government.

Cheney didn't keep any Haliburton stock. It all went into a charitable trust which Cheney has no control over.
