In their annual “Washington’s Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” Judicial Watch notes:
Hillary Clinton is constitutionally ineligible to serve as Secretary of State in the Obama administration. According to the Ineligibility Clause of the United States Constitution, no member of Congress can be appointed to an office that has benefited from a salary increase during the time that Senator or Representative served in Congress. A January 2008 Executive Order signed by President Bush during Hillary Clinton’s current Senate term increased the salary for Secretary of State, thereby rendering Senator Clinton ineligible for the position. (Congressional “fixes” do not address the constitutional issue. Her appointment would be in violation of the U.S. Constitution.)
But anyone familiar with the Hilldebeast knows that rules simply do not apply to her.
And then, of course, there is the long history of corrupt behavior that follows Hillary wherever she goes, including Chinagate, Filegate, pardons for terrorists, pardons for cash (for her brothers), White House fundraising coffees, Whitewater, Travelgate lies,doing business with the State of Arkansas while her husband was governor,Web Hubbell, smear campaigns, false financial disclosure forms, John Huang,Chinese generals, the Lippo Group, paid sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom,cattle futures fraud, and stealing White House furniture. (This corruption is still going strong. In 2008, Hillary also received an illegal foreigncampaign contribution in the form of a fundraising concert by music iconElton John.)
The Ineligibility Clause, sometimes also referred to as the Incompatibility Clause or the Sinecure Clause,, located at Article 1, Section 6, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, places limitations upon the employment of members of Congress and prohibits employees of the Executive Branch from serving in Congress during their terms in office.
The clause states:
“No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.”
The man who appointed her was a professor of Constitutional law at University of Chicago. Ironic?
