Good, bad or indifferent that’s the way it is.....

Correction to previous post.... should be,

3 USC § 104 - Salary of the Vice President
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/3/104

and

2 USC § 358 - Recommendations of President with respect to pay

Unconstitutional is ALWAYS bad .... just because someone codified an unconstitutional arrangement for the convenience of the Members, doesn't make it less so, or less pernicious.

Obama is exploiting that perniciousness now, to remind congressmen that they are eating out of his hand themselves -- how dare they deny succor to his supplicants, or as Barky likes to call it on the campaign trail, "GITTIN' the People some HE'P!!!"

Mark of a dictator. Caesar did it, Hitler did it. "Here - -here is something for you. Eat out of my hand. Be my client. Admit your limitations. Submit."
