Hillary Ineligible for Cabinet Post?

So much for Obama Hussein’s idea of keeping his friends close and enemies closer. According to this AOL story, Hillary Clinton may not be eligible for the Secretary of State postition afterall!
The source of the issue is something called the Emoluments Clause, which is a clause in the Constitution that essentially states that, while a person is serving a term of office to which they were elected, he or she may not be appointed to any civil office which was newly created, or for which the compensation was increased in that same term. So because there was a pay raise given to the position of Secretary of State during Senator Clinton’s current term, she is ineligible for appointment to this office.

    You almost got it right.

    The Emoluments Clause not only states “… without the consent of Congress…”, but it also states that these prohibited appointments are “…from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” Keyword: foreign.

    First, Hillary (if she is chosen) will be confirmed by Congress, as are ALL Cabinet appointees, per Article II, Section 2.

    Secondly, for purposes of the Emoluments Clause, “a ‘foreign state’ is deemed to include an international organization in which the United States is NOT a member.”
    Source: http://micronations.wikia.com/wiki/Emoluments_clause

    It was unanimously added to the Constitution to prevent international conflicts of interest, and to prevent the establishment of a “special” Civil position which would be created just to place a presidential appointee.
