Article I Section 6:

Quoted Text
    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.



Could this be a way for Obama to get rid of Hillary once and for all? If she resigns her Senate seat and fails to get the confirmation from the Senate, she's gone.

This is a direct comparison to Stratton getting a raise while in office, between elections.

I first heard about this on Dan Lynch's radio talk show today

Doesn't she have to resign as senator before Jan. 20th since her position as SOS would not go into effect until then?
