Casper Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/04/clinton.eligible/index.htmlBuwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Article 1, Section 6 of the Constitution says the following: "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."Translation: A lawmaker cannot fill a position if the salary for that position has been raised during that lawmaker's term in office.In January, President Bush signed an executive order increasing the salary for the secretary of state and other Cabinet positions by $4,700. Hillary Clinton has been in the Senate since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoosego Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm surprised Obama didn't decide to keep her anyway.... she is a black woman.... it would have gone far with the republicans as far as "reaching across Party lines" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 WTH does that have to do with it.Ask the 95%+ of American blacks that voted for Obama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd#43 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 WTH does that have to do with it.I'd say that since obama is half black, he would have rather had a black woman on his cabinet as opposed to a white woman.I'd say it could go either way...

Putty Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Soooo, it'd have nothing to do with Condi being a genius....literally. It'd be solely cause she's black....ahhh, got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd#43 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I need to see where you stand here. Was Sarah Palin qualified?Yes, I think she was.The Secretary of State's job is quite a bit different than the VP's though.I'm not overly impressed with Rice - and it has nothing to do with her being a woman, or with her being black.Again, she's more qualified than the current pick.

Putty Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yes, I think she was. lmao......i'm outta this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 No, I think it can be done in the house and the senate.Bush doesn't have anything to do with it.I'm about 99% sure congress has to pass it, AND the president has to sign it. Or she can just accept a lower salary...Technically and constitutionally, no. "CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin" isn't correct on that.

John Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 ok qualified has two meanings. it can mean fitted for a given purpose (competent) or having complied with the specific requirements (eligible)was palin competent?not in the leastwas she eligible?yes she was. she was born in the US and she is older than 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd#43 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 lmao......i'm outta this thread!So, apparently you think she wasn't. Big deal.I need to know where you stand on this - Is Obama "qualified" to be president? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
