Check the US Constitution- something about NO person elected or getting paid by the Government can be an elector. Bill Clinton is a NY elector & He is getting a pension from the USA.

I think that is a violation.

The old Ruskies had a way to deal with subversives in government....it was called a purge. IMO, these lefties have gone so far around the bend, they need be permanently purged from humanity.

The U.S. Constitution does not say that no person getting paid by the U.S. government can be a presidential elector, it says that no Senator, Representative, or a “person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States,” may serve as an elector. An office of trust or profit, sometimes spelled out as an office of honor, trust or profit, refers to officers of the executive and judicial branches of the federal government. It does not include *former* presidents not currently holding a federal office, even if they receive a government pension (just as it does not include persons receiving Social Security payments, veteran’s benefits, etc.).
