This President spent 270 days at Trump-owned properties. Think about that for a second. What if Barack Obama had not only taken the press corps and the government with him to Martha's Vineyard, but made everybody stay at the Obama Hotel and he directed the government to spend taxpayer moneys at the Obama Hotel in Martha's Vineyard? There would be a revolution over on that side of the aisle. That is what is happening right here. Every time that President Trump goes to Mar-a-Lago, they are spending $60,000, estimated by the GAO, every weekend that they take government resources down there. And we pay it. It is wrong, and it is against the Constitution. Mr. Chair, I am totally in favor of this amendment.
