Is Hillary Constitutionally-Barred from State Job?

By TWAY Kris

Pete Williams raised an interesting point on MSNBC yesterday…as Marc Ambinder notes below, Hillary Clinton may be constitutionally barred from serving as Secretary of State because she was a member of Congress when the salary for the position was increased (which occurred within the last year).

Is Clinton barred from State job? – Marc Ambinder.

Hillary News Swings Day to Day

By TWAY Kris

My take this morning is that she’s enjoying being courted more than she would enjoy the job itself. It seems likely that she will turn it down. Senator Kennedy offered her a chance to take a leadership role on healthcare, and that will be tempting.

Buzz continued Tuesday about the possibility that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be Barack Obama’s secretary of state — though Clinton insiders also told Politico that the New York senator might reject the job.

There are also concerns about the idea in some precincts of Obamaland. From his supporters in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party to campaign aides of the soon-to-be president, there’s a sense of ambivalence about giving a political plum to a woman they spent 18 months hammering as the compromised standard-bearer of an era that deserves to be forgotten.

HRC for Sec of State

By TWAY Kris

Mike Allen at Politico reports this morning,

“The sense among the no-drama Obama world is this is well on its way to winning best Oscar for drama,” said one well-connected Democratic official.

There are signs, however, that the Clintons may move decisively to satisfy the vetting requests in coming days, clearing the way for a “Team of Rivals” Cabinet that would bring the president-elect’s opponent for the Democratic nomination into his historic administration.

I know some Obama supporters are upset by this courting, but I think it’s exactly what Barack promised. This is not going to be a business as usual administration, and that means he is going to upset supporters not just sometimes, but often. Senator Clinton is a strong diplomat and if she is willing to take on the task I think it is a brilliant move to add her to the team. There is also a lot to be said for having the Clintons as part of the team instead of on the outside criticizing and building their own power base.
