Chaffetz booed at rowdy town hall

quote [ โ€œYouโ€™re not going to like this part: the president, under the law, is exempt from conflict of interest laws,โ€ Chaffetz told the loudly protesting crowd. ]

Very interesting to see this happening in Rep. Chaffetz's deep red, polite Mormon district. While the Democrats founder we might be seeing a popular uprising in the works. Stay tuned.

More from WaPo:
Republican town halls are getting very, very nasty.
One Republican strategy is to avoid engagement altogether, blame the 'radical left', paid demonstrators, etc.

Not that it even matters, because a later, actual law (not a regulation) was passed by congress superceding this if it did. The president is immune to any domestic conflict of interest charge.
