Oh man

Wow. What an absolutely horrible day. My foot is still bleeding, too. But it's all in good fun. School's going well. Did you know Hillary Clinton is ineligible to become Secretary of State unless the salary for the job is lowered back down to it's Jan 2008 raise? It's called the Emolument Clause in the constitution. If the office in the Presidential Cabinet a representative from congress is appointed to has received a pay-hike during that representative's current term, then they are ineligible to take that position unless the salary goes back down. So basically Hillary can't take office unless congress lowers the salary for Secretary of State to its pre 2008 raise state. They will, but I find legalities interesting. Lookup "Saxbe" on news.google.com for more info.
