This is a problem not unlike the Obama birth certificate brooha. While it may present a Constitutional violation, the Constitution doesn't provide a remedy, so I've read a number of possible work arounds. One that I found most interesting was that the Congress would simply vote to reduce the pay of the Secretary of State to the level prior to Clinton's vote thus rendering the issue moot.
Sounds to me like she just needs to resign from the senate and the problem is solved..
I didn't support BO, and certainly didn't support Hillary, but we have them for four years, so lets see what they can do. I hope they pull off a miracle..
This is silly, there is no conflict of interest. The president increased the secretary of state's salary by Executive Order, not via vote of the senate so this should not be an impediment.
Hillary will be confirmed. If not, I nominate Michelle Obama!!
That would once and for all confirm that there are no real qualifications to be a member of the Washington DC elite.
