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.

Not an issue.

The first clause says that you can't create a civil job for a sitting legislator. Nor can you lure a legislator away by a promise of huge pay for an existing job. Secretary of State is neither new, nor are they offering "increased emoluments.

The second clause says nothing more than that Hillary can't remain in the Senate if she takes the SoS job.

[[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 ]]

Clearly SHE is barred from accepting hte position- Note very carefully that the constitution states “during the Time for whi HE was elected”- It makes NO mention of a SHE- only a HE- so therefore, Women obviously are barred from office
