No offence, but this is grasping at straws and for what? Do you really want to keep Hillary in the Senate for the next 10-40 years? I don’t. Let her take the job and then at the next election the GOP has a shot at taking the seat.
What? Why am I “grasping at straws”? Why is it up to me to “let her take the job”?
I’m just explaining what the text says. She has to take a paycut in order to be appointed. Them’s the rules. It’s pretty clearcut.
Unless you just think the constitution is just too much bother to follow anymore.
