The Emoluments Clause in Article I, Section 6 of the U.S. Constitution provides: “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 encreased during such time.” ....
The compensation package was raised for the Secretary of State under the last congress, of which Hillary was a member. Ergo it is unlawful for her to move directly from Congress to that particular cabinet office during her elected term in office.
I bet they ignore it. If they can ignore Obama’s birth certificate, they can ignore this.
A caller got through to Michael Medved about this. He’d denied ever hearing the charge and mocked “is she supposed to have been born abroad too?” (paraphrased) and his rejected the notion that there could be anything unconstitutional about it.

Thanks for the info. I had forgotten about that. and Im sure you’re right... if they don’t care about O’s citizen ship eligibility for President, they won’t think twice about Hillery taking an office she voted a pay raise for. I wonder if any of the dullards in the media have been informed of her ineligibility.
