18 U.S.C 208

With some leeway to defer capital gains under 5 CFR Section 2634, the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, as amended; 26 U.S.C. 1043; the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 and the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015; the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act), as amended; and Executive Order 12674 of April 12, 1989, as modified by Executive Order 12731 of October 17, 1990.

There are reasons that DOGE is being setup the way it is, and Elmo won't be a gov employee.

But if Salty gets his wish then Elmo would be in quite the pickle.

Hey, you're the one that brought up him getting a Cabinet position. A high level one.

Advisor isn't part of the Cabinet.

*hears a noise*

Don't look up, Salty.
