1.9 Conflicts Of Interest

Section 6 of the original Constitution says:

“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

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.”

The New Constitution says:

“No Member of Congress may be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States which will have been created, or the compensation has increased during the Members time in office. No Person holding any Office under the United States will be a Member of Congress during the Members continuance in office.”

Updated wording and grammar; same intent.
