Well now....

LOL, let’s get it on!

We have been down this road before. 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.

Sweet!

I need to talk with Mr. Rodearmel!

Woo Hoo!

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

I remember when this was talked about

Has it been tied up in litigation since?

I’ve heard rumors that Hillary is going to resign and run for Governor of NY. Do you suppose this has anything to do with her decision?

[DBrow]

She was ineligible to run the first Health Care Commission, and it was illegal for her to do that in secret. We all saw what became of that.

Then there is Algor fund raising from his office.

I do not expect the judicial branch to prosecute or even investigate mere Constitutional breaches, we have become so much more Progressive than that.

[Don Corleone]

Hillary may look on this as an opportunity.....for 2010? In the meantime would she replace the replacement senator. Look what ignoring the Constitution is doing to this country. Throw the illegal ba$tard$ out!

"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 encreased during such time."

The clause only applies to males and not females as the Framers specifically used the word "he."

[Brookhaven]

Regardless of how this turns out, I’m glad to see there is a growing movement in the US that believes the Constitution actually means something (vs. something that can be ignored when it is inconvenient.)

What is Judicial Watch’s actually scorecard of victories in lawsuits against the Clintons?

Not just bringing to court, victory in the final decision?

[dfwgator]

Judicial Watch, the “Washington Generals” of the legal world.

[SunkenCiv]

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!

"Whaaat's Law Got to do, Got to do, with it..."

[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.

[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.

[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?

[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.
