Clinton for Sec of State is Unconstitutional
December 1, 2008
FYI: No Senator or Congressman (person) is eligible for any cabinet post if during their time in the congress they were involved in a vote that increased the salary of said cabinet position.
Look it up: It is in Article One of the constitution. (See Below)
Hillary voted to increase the salary a couple of years ago.
Don’t get mad at me….I’m just saying
All you Hillary haters don’t hold your breath…..Taft, Nixon and Carter all got around this by reducing the salary of the appointee to the lower salary level prior to the increase before the vote.
Hillary taking a pay cut….this should be interesting.
Article One, Section Six of the U.S. Constitution says:
No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.
Too funny. It usually pays to actually read the Constitution!
