If a majority of either house votes that they want something, they have standing to sue for it. Doesn't mean they'll get it, though.

Well I'm glad it's obvious to you that this one ruling was about standing and that the merits of what emoluments are, and who decides, are still up in the air. I don't think it was obvious to the person who wrote the title of this thread.

Essentially it's getting a salary or other compensation for official actions from outside that provided by congress. The idea of extending this to pre-existing business relationships is a level of childishness that should even shame u.

I think President Carter should be ashamed for a few things, but I didn't think selling his peanut farm was one of them.

Actually it's not obvious. The Obama administration tried to argue multiple times that a majority of the House of Representatives does not have standing to sue in court, that their lawsuit must be joined by a majority in the Senate as well. Until Obama got into office they're actually weren't that many cases like this. but the judges decided that a majority in one of the two houses is enough to have standing.
