On January 29, 2009, Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit on the grounds that Mrs. Clinton is constitutionally ineligible to serve as Secretary of State under the Ineligibility Clause. The "emoluments" or salary of the U.S. Secretary of State increased at least three times during Mrs. Clinton's most recent U.S. Senate term. That term, which began on January 4, 2007, does not expire until January 2013, regardless of Mrs. Clinton's resignation.

Sing it Obama!

I don’t have a clue.
However, their scorecard for at least entertainment value, is out of the park.

[Perdogg]

I am not sure.

[trumandogz]

We must go by the Framers “Original Intent” and it was their intent that that the clause in question only apply to males who were in a Congress that voted for a pay raise for a position that they would later be appointed.

[Grampa Dave]

I’m sure that this will be as effective as all the other lawsuits brought about by the same group against the Clintoons.

And there’s this:

Valerie Jarrett quietly jets to India to meet with the Dalai Lama on Tibet

WASHINGTON—White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrettt, who seemed to vanish at the end of last week, was actually dispatched to India on a delicate diplomatic mission: President Obama’ tapped her to meet with the exiled Tibetan religious leader, the Dalai Lama.

Jarrettt called on the leading figure for Tibet’s autonomy from China on Sunday and Monday, along with State Department Under Secretary Maria Otero, the Obama White House new Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues.......

Where’s Hillary???

[Velveeta]

Okay.

Are you sure that Hillary is a woman?

[swain_forkbeard]

What I remember is that she took the lesser pay and that this political expedient has been used before.

I am not sure it has been litigated before. I think not. The COTUS is quite specific in this area, but who knows how the courts will rule?

[P-Marlowe]

She’s a figurehead anyway. She has no power in the Obama Administration and she knows it. She will be resigning before this lawsuit goes anywhere.

[SunkenCiv]

Hillary’s probably in secret talks with Ahmednutjob in Iran; Valerie Jarrett’s job is to get the Dalai Lama on board with worldwide condemnation of Israel.

[a fool in paradise]

Right but I have to wonder if all they do is run interference on these issues to keep someone else from actually being able to achieve a win.

[Jane Austen]

I agree.

[sniper63]

"who knows how the courts will rule?"

They do have that wise Latina woman now.....

[pepsionice]

I believe by early 2010....maybe Feb...she will announce her resignation and run for governor. The curious thing is who replaces her.

“I did read today that Zer0 and Bubba had lunch together. Wonder what was discussed?”
They discussed how Zero will seize ultimate control and appoint Bubba as VP.

[nikos1121]

I’m not sure I follow this.

Under Clinton the secretary of defense was a republican and I believe an elected Senator who had not completed his term.

YOU have other examples of elected officials serving on cabinet or other posts. Mitch Mcconnell? Doesn’t he apply?

[nikos1121]

George Mitchell NOT Mitch Mcconnell

[wintertime]

announced today that a lawsuit challenging the constitutional eligibility of Hillary Clinton to be Secretary of State
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So?....Why isn't Judicial Watch interested in Obama’s eligibility to be president? Where are are the law suits on **that**?

Also...I hope they will vigorously file suits demanding an investigation of Pelosi’s letters to the secretaries of 50 states requesting that Obama be placed on the ballot.

[Lurking Libertarian]

All she would have to do is accept the pay prior to the authorization of the pay increase in the Congress in which she participated.

Which in fact she did.
