Also, I imagine it would be a conflict of interest. Staffers swear an oath to the United States. If there was money going directly towards their salary that came from another source I'd say that creates a conflict of interest. Last edited by buccs_117; 07/30/09 08:12 PM.

Staffers also serve at the pleasure of the President or First Lady, so based on what you posit, there is already a conflict of interest. GO! Last edited by straw; 07/30/09 10:22 PM.
