If this is in fact a real issue for Hillary, I believe the same would apply to Biden as VP since the VP salary was also increased at the same time Cabinet salaries were increased.

As for Hillary... If she resigned before being appointed, then she is not a senator anymore, and the prohibition would not apply. But I think she would have to resign before the formal nomination was made.
