Why does everybody keep talking about the Clinton/UN thing?

Unless, I've missed a major change, the UN charter specifically forbids any national of the permanent council members from being Secretary General.

Since when do the Clintons let something like the "LAW" stop them?

But isn't Willie a 'Citizen Of The World'. If what you say is true it's amazing that the all wise and knowing MSM hasn't found that out yet. I hope you're right. I don't think I could handle the MSM coverage of Clinton...'President Of The World.'

Can you please link or cite the section of the UN Charter or whatever you are basing your statement on that prohibits a permanent Council member from becoming Sec. Gen..... This has been spoken as truth here on FR for sometime now but so far no one has been able to produce the UN Device that does this Prohibition....

Any help would be greatly appreciated..... Thanks.

NO!

The UN charter states any member is eligible.

There is an unwritten rule about the security council and roatating the SG among the geographic regions.
