    These gifts are personal gifts, and they can be taken home, if they’re below the GSA threshold. If they’re above that threshold, the president has to pay fair market value. If they don’t pay up, it goes to the library. That’s all in the text I pasted. “Personal” is not relevant; that word is not in article I section 9.

    No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
