Kinda hope she is inellegible. Would be a riot if our Constitutional Lawyer President screwed up his first major appointment due to a tiny, little Constitutional problem.

“...Sen. Robert C. Byrd deemed it was clearly unconstitutional saying we should not delude the American people into thinking a way can be found around the constitutional obstacle.”

Uh-huh. Great.

So, how come it is OK for a foreign national to run for President? Isn’t anybody going to vet Obama? Or does the Supreme Court have to do all the heavy lifting and deport the fraud?

Reasonably, she should be paid at the earlier salary until her senate term expires. Then she should be given the current salary.

as per the section of the constitution you quoted and the historical note from 1973, She is in fact not elligible for the position. I suppose the dems could try to site precedent and lower the pay, but as Sen. Byrd stated, that is still not legal. I would like this go to SCOTUS and have her nomination shot down, but I am certain that the spineless republicans will not want to upset anyone and not say a thing

If Obama nominates her she just resigns her senate position before she’s sworn in think.....

Yes, but these are Democraps and the Obamessiah we’re talking about. The Constitution is irrelevant in their world.

All that is necessary is for congress to roll back the pay raise that she voted for. It has been done before.

Yes, she is Constitutionally prohibited, however, as applied in the past, there are remedies.

The purpose of this was not to prevent someone from holding such an office. The purpose was to prevent him/her from unfairly profiting from a benefit they voted for.

Remove the (increased) benefit the the issue is moot.

Can a former two term co-President be appointed to a job in which he/she is #4 in the line of succession to the Presidency?

A Constitutional crisis is lurking in the darkness in the coming 4 years. And it is not whether the manger the great one was born in was located in Kenya or Cleveland. No, this one is bigger. . . Article 1 section 9 of the US Constitution states “No title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States; and no person holding any office shall, without Consent of Congress, accept any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State”

The world is waiting for their King and savior and leave it to a bunch of long hairs 200 years ago to mess it all up!

All Hail the Messiah Barack Obama!
