Because it matters as to why she did it.You need proof that the White House Office is part of the executive branch?Yes.The law that we are talking about.No. No. No.I believe her title is special advisor to the president.Yes. Ivanka is an employee of the government.Ms. Trump’s Goya tweet is clearly a violation of the government’s misuse of position regulation, 5 C.F.R. § 2635.702. Ms. Trump has had ethics training. She knows better. But she did it anyway because no one in this administration cares about government ethics,” Shaub says.
Experts: Ivanka Trump’s endorsement of Goya Foods puts her in serious legal trouble
“Clearly a Violation” Government ethics experts across the nation are denouncing Ivanka Trump’s late-night endorsement of Goya Foods as a violation of law – and ethics – especially as it comes just days after the company’s CEO appeared on national television in the Rose Garden of the White House...www.rawstory.com
Watch: Six Years Ago Obama Promised to Buy a Chevy Volt. Now It Is Dead
Yeah, but remember how the Democrats all wanted him investigated for that? Hmm ... I don't either ...
They will say as an elected official he isn't beholden to those rules. Of course, Trump's daughter isn't a civil service employee of the government, so her application vis a vis the law is probably hazy as well.
They got their soundbite, that's all they care about.
A civil servant with a title?
Paid? Civil Service? Senate Confirmed?
Any other questions?
The law they are quoting probably applies to a specific type of employee. Any idea which one it applies to?
It applies to almost everyone in government:
(h) Employee means any officer or employee of an agency, including a special Government employee. It includes officers but not enlisted members of the uniformed services. It includes employees of a State or local government or other organization who are serving on detail to an agency, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3371, et seq. For purposes other than subparts B and C of this part, it does not include the President or Vice President. Status as an employee is unaffected by pay or leave status or, in the case of a special Government employee, by the fact that the individual does not perform official duties on a given day.
Where did you get the quote from?
5 CFR § 2635.102 - Definitions.

So what agency does she belong to?
Executive office of the president.
is that actually an agency as per federal code?
Proof?
The funny thing is even if this ends up as an "ethics" violation, the likely penalty is some form of reprimand.
Of course the real reason for your butt hurt is she's supporting an AMERICAN company.
Of course we both know it has nothing to do with being an “American” company since Trump has no problem bashing any number of American companies whose owners don’t agree with him.
Part of the executive branch, but is it by definition an "agency"?
Obama endorsed volt at one time, you didn't have a problem with that did ya?
Yes. Any agency is any organization or department that is part of the executive branch. If it’s not an agency, what the hell is it? This isn’t a serious argument.
Answer me one question. Why did Ivanka endorse Goya?
She supported goya against a political boycott.
Does the first lady endorse every dress designer she wears.
But keep this up, Nothing shows how petty dems are when they fixate on chickenshit like this.
Does she defend every company subject to a political boycott or just some?
Who cares?
You don’t want to answer because you know the answer and are too scared to admit it.
It's pure chickenshit, even CNN has stopped pushing it when they realized how petty it looked.
She did it because Goya’s owner praised Trump. We both know it. If you don’t admit it, it’s because you’re too afraid to.
