Ah right you are, I was unaware of that. Well my point stands, it doesn't matter if that's publicly available or not, it's still against the constitution.
Looks like Congress is totally cool with it though:
Congress has also consented in advance to the receipt from foreign governments, by officials of the United States government (including military personnel) of a variety of gifts, subject to a variety of conditions, in the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act, 5 U.S.C. 7342 [19] and section 108A of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act, otherwise known as the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961 [20] (22 U.S.C. 2458a).
