A resolution affirming that the underlying purpose of the Foreign Emoluments Clause renders the acceptance and transfer of a plane from the government of Qatar, without the explicit consent of Congress, an illegal emolument, withholding the consent of the Senate to the acceptance and transfer of plane from the government of Qatar, and demanding the transfer of any plane received by President Donald J. Trump or entities under his control from the government of Qatar to the permanent control of the United States Government.

This resolution addresses the reported plan for President Donald J. Trump to accept a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the Government of Qatar, valued at an estimated $400,000,000. The Senate affirms that accepting and transferring this plane without explicit Congressional consent constitutes an illegal emolument under the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Concerns are raised regarding the potential for undue foreign influence, significant taxpayer costs exceeding $1,000,000,000 for retrofitting, and grave national security risks, including counterintelligence threats and the integrity of specialized communications systems. The resolution formally withholds the consent of the Senate for the acceptance and transfer of any such plane from the Government of Qatar. It highlights that the proposed transfer to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library for continued personal use after his presidency, with transfer fees paid by the Air Force, further exacerbates these concerns. Ultimately, the Senate demands the transfer of any plane received by President Trump or entities under his control from the Government of Qatar to the permanent control of the United States Government, emphasizing the need to uphold public trust and the integrity of public office.
