Why not? As Ron Paul has noted, their is no Constitution -- at least, one that is followed -- these days. That's if Bush hasn't burnt or shredded them all.
"Senate plans to slash salary so Clinton is eligible for post
The fix is apparently in - to help Hillary Clinton skirt a nettlesome constitutional provision and clear her path to become secretary of state.
Yes, that ANNOYING PIECE of PARCHMENT called the U.S. CONSTITUTION! You know, that document that is supposed to be the LAW of the LAND!
The clause says that no member of Congress can be named to any office whose pay was raised during his or her term. In January, while Clinton was the junior US senator from New York, the salary for secretary of state was raised from $186,600 to $191,300.
The Senate is working on a bill to rescind the raise - a strategy also used in 1973 so that Senator William Saxbe, an Ohio Republican, could become attorney general. And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, through a spokesman, said this week that she would go along.
Yeah, thanks for upholding the Constitution, Congress. What a worthless pile of shit they are!
Some bloggers and anti-Clinton groups have been pressing the case that the constitutional clause makes her ineligible for the post....
Oh, if you are FOR the CONSTITUTION and RULE of LAW, you are anti-Clinton now!!! Pfffft!
Actually, that is the TRUTH, isn't it? Looks like the MSM inadvertently stepped in something!
