This is really not a big deal-- they just need to adjust her pay.

The big deal would be if the Senate ignores this inconvenient truth. After all, they are the ones to confirm or deny the President's Appointments.

You have a reference for that? The first I know of was in 1973, and it is clear in retrospect that Nixon had no regard for the laws.

I apologize.



In my PDF reader, it shows the page number as page 87 of 374.

The physical page is 141.

Or you can do a search of the document using, "1909".

Hope that helps.
