Supreme Court Rules Trump Got Away With It

huffpost.com
Supreme Court Ends Trump Emoluments Lawsuits, Calling Them ‘Moot’
"The high court also ordered the lower court rulings thrown out as well and directed appeals courts in New York and Richmond, Virginia, to dismiss the suits as moot now that Trump is no longer in office."

So in other words there is no reason a "president" can't profit greatly while he/she holds office if they weren't held accountable while in office by stalling them in the appeals process. Course on the other hand the emoluments clause carries practically no penalty. Pardon me for not thinking this is how this is suppose to work.

Does this only apply to presidents or does it to congressional (federal/state) members, governors, county leaders and mayors as well if they get away with it while in office? 

Seems screwed up to me. What a country!
