To: President Donald Trump
No West Wing Office or Security Clearance for Ivanka
This petition is to halt any and all plans to provide a West Wing office, security clearance, and government-issued communications device for the President's daughter, Ivanka Trump.
Why is this important?
We, the citizens and taxpayers of this nation, and therefore, owners of the people's White House, object to the provision of a West Wing office, security clearance, and government-issued communications device for the President's daughter, Ivanka Trump. In this scenario, there is no precedent, no guidelines, and therefore, no protocol for accountability or oversight. Further, a conflict of interest is clear as reportedly Ms. Trump continues to own and profit from her fashion and jewelry businesses, both of which also appear to benefit from her father's name, presumably even moreso now that her father is President of the United States. Finally, this scenario is different from other adult children advising past Presidents: not just there to offer insights to her father, it appears Ms. Trump will have an expansive portfolio, and without associated education or experience in government, public office, or public policy. It has already been of significant concern to the petitioners herein to see Ms. Trump sitting in on high-level Presidential meetings with foreign heads of state.
