So I was just watching MSNBC News Today (I shouldn't have been, but I was relaxing for a few minutes, and so I turned the TV on), and they brought up this little tidbit from Article 1, Section 6 of the U.S. Constitution:
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.
So you have to ask yourself, since 2001, has the Secretary of State gotten a raise? The answer is yes.
So you have to ask yourself, is the President-elect about to nominate someone who was a Senator or Representative since 2001? The answer is yes.
So Hillary cannot be appointed Secretary of State.
So you have to ask yourself, how can they get past this?
