it is BIZARRE to believe two things:

[xchrom]

that the wife of a former president wouldn't know she was ineligible for sos --{not to mention she's a lawyer serving in the senate}

or that the former primary opponent of barack could force an appointment on him.

[bridgit]

1. Agreed...

And the back & forth on this 'thing' is a strange *and* bizarre spectacle to observe

[xchrom]

3. oh it's just nuts. nt

[AtomicKitten]

2. strange times indeed

[NMDemDist2]

4. she's ineligible?

huh?

[xchrom]

6. just follow some of the threads regarding pay raises. nt

[NMDemDist2]

8. ok I saw one.

bizarre.

does that mean we can have Wes Clark instead ???? :bounce:

:rofl:

[xchrom]

12. lol -- i honestly don't know. -- he was the military guy in charge of kosovo

under clinton -- so probably.

[Dis Pater]

15. Not until 2010.

[question everything]

10. I did. But all start with the same theme:

ineligible. No one explains why not, probably because they just blow hot air.

Both Hillary and Obama are smarter than all 100,000 DUers combined.

[NMDemDist2]

11. because the SoS got a raise this year and the Constitution forbids a

Senator to take a position that they voted a raise to in the recent past

[question everything]

19. Read the Saxbe Fix

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxbe_fix

Historically, the solution has been to reduce salaries of Cabinet positions to the level they were before to the offending salary increases.

It is sad that DUers are still rabid about anything Hillary that they won't bother to be educated.

[bertman]

20. Since when does Congress enforce ANY laws except the ones that relate to us peons?

I thought they gave up on any kind of "rule of law" stuff when Harry and Nancy took the reins.

[liberalmuse]

5. Huh?

Well this is a new one.

[xchrom]

7. look around -- you'll find the threads. nt

[Dis Pater]

16. Emoluments Clause

[woolldog]

9. stranger things have happpened....

[Zombie2]

13. Wes Clark would be cool....

IMO

[BeatleBoot]

14. Classic DU !

This is a classic!

:rofl:

Too funny!

Just watch who becomes Secretary of State.

:spray:

[blondeatlast]

17. On the internets, just like on Christmas Eve,

you just gotta believe in it hard enough and it comes true.

Or maybe not. But I've mostly lurked this week and it is most definitely bizarre here lately.

[wyldwolf]

18. what's even MORE bizarre

The president-elect who is a constitutional scholar didn't know... unless she IS eligible because Obama believes in the INTENT of the law.
