The court's action raises the question of how the justices will deal with a myriad of other lawsuits and disputes concerning the now-former President, and whether Trump's side may prevail simply because he ran out the clock and courts allowed him to do so

It triggered a fierce debate about a provision of the Constitution that most lawyers knew little about and laymen couldn't pronounce: The Emoluments Clause.But on Monday, with President Donald Trump no longer in office, the dispute fizzled. That's because the Supreme Court dismissed the two cases in front of it and wiped away appeals court opinions that went against the former President because he is no longer in office.

CNN analyst explains Emoluments Clause to Trump 02:41Future presidents, of course, will likely have Twitter and other social media accounts.Katie Fallow, an attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute that sued Trump, also said that the case was moot. But she made that argument based on the fact that Trump's"repeated violations" of Twitter's terms of service led the company to eventually shut down his account.

Can’t investigate when he’s in office. Can’t investigate when he’s out of office. Doesn’t make any sense. Every other country prosecuted corrupt leaders.

Boockvar case? Any news there?

Who cares, he is gone from the White House

I don't think that this will have any bearing on whether a guilty verdict in a Senate impeachment trial and ban on federal office-holding. But that's a bit of speculation; I defer to the experts.

Honestly I want nothing more of this looser

This just pisses me off so much!!! No wonder they think they can do anything because no one ever holds them accountable!!! If this had been President Obama he'd be arrested and serving life by now. Neverheldaccountable
