That is what lawyers get paid for, but no attempt to impeach Obama was made for accepting the Nobel peace prize which indicates any such argument would have no chance of succeeding, would not be valid.
- dagw 10y agoBut Obama did turn down the cash part of the prize, only accepting the medal and diploma, specifically to avoid any such potential problems.
- Gupie 10y agoI wouldn't think there is a legal distinction between the cash and the medal. Accepting the money would probably been politically unacceptable even with out any legal issues. But I accept you are correct about the potential legal difficulties in accepting the prize at all: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/15/AR2009101502277.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10...
