Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

A State Department employee

has filed a lawsuit today in federal court against newly sworn-in Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claiming she is constitutionally ineligible to serve.

[DD826]

Iether Sen. Reed and Sen.Kerry don't know the constitution or they don't care about it.

And these are the people that the libs. have brought us to fix this country!

[DD826]

Again, Obama, Congress and now Clinton ignore the US Constitution and break the law, for their own personal gain!

[DD826]

"This historic legal challenge should remind politicians of both parties that the U.S. Constitution is not to be trifled with," he said. "Mrs. Clinton is constitutionally ineligible to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State until at least 2013, when her second term in the U.S. Senate expires. We hope the courts will put a stop to these end runs around the Constitution and affirm the rule of law."

[DD826]

(contd)

The lawsuit acknowledges that Congress tried to shirk the constitutional exclusion with a "Saxbe fix," reducing the Clinton's salary to the level in effect before Jan. 1, but it states that the legislation "does not and cannot change the historical fact that the 'compensation and other emoluments' of the office of the U.S. Secretary of State increased during Defendant Clinton's tenure in the U.S. Senate. "

[DD826]

The very fact that Congress tried the "Saxbe fix", proves they were aware of the Constitution violation and tried to get around it!

[DD826]

(contd)

The second clause of Article 1, Section 6, of the Constitution reads, "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."

@DD826 they resign from congress thereby making them eligible for office the constitution is referring to holding both offices at the time.

Obama spends $150MIL while families live in tents because these same Politicians and Wall Street killed our economy. Obama screws up his swearing in & looks the fool, has to do it over. Bidens wife reveals Joe had choice of VP or Sec. of State on Oprah dissin Hillary & her HillRaisers. That old black minister makes racist remarks. Rev Warren mentions Jesus and pisses off the GOD hating athiests. Ted Kennedy shits his pants at the lunch. Aretha tells people to shut up. WOW talk bout OBAMA DRAMA!j

[mavalkyrie]

Chief Justice screwed up the swearing in, not Obama.

[dustynbones]

94-2 means that she's very well qualified for the position. Get over it psychopathic REPIGZ ... The conspiracy lies in your own minds propagated by REPIG rag-talk radio and Faux Newz.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Hillary Clinton will do well.

Hillary has an ego, but she cares about people.

You must remember that times were good with Bill and Hill.

I want those better times back.

With Obama leading the way, it will happen.

Thank you.

Gimme a Break!

Obama said on the platform that he is going to TAX capital, at a time when the world is desperately short of capital (What a genius!); and then he is going to institute protectionism

Protectionism helped lead America into 1930s depressions & created weak industries like the old TWA airline & todays non-competitive auto industry!

Protectionism & Taxing Capital will bring down the American House of Cards!

[bonkata55]

Seems our President doesn't really study history or economics except to parade around like he is Abe Lincoln. Here's looking forward to 2010 and 2012!!

[erikarabin8924]
