Hillary Constitutionally barred from Sec. of State
No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased (They were last year) during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.
"Essentially, you cannot take a job if the salary was increased during your current congressional term. And the salary for cabinet officials has gone up in the past year. Even if it is lowered back down, constitutional scholars say that may not be enough to fix the problem."

That is the US Constitution, do we need to know the reason they put it in place or should we obey the document that was set in place to govern this land.

Maybe they don't know about that part.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

Ummm no we don't. The reasons they put it there could have been different for any number of those who voted for the inclusion of the clause. As Justice Scalia will tell you Legislative intent is irrelevant, what does the text say.
Some may have wanted it to keep Senators from serving in dual posts while others may have wanted it to keep them from creating positions and raising the pay and taking an appointment.
The fact is the Constitution says you can't do it, to do so is a clear violation.
