How are they running the government?....after all they are not POTUS.They’re not being paid so they can run the government the way that they want?
No, it is so they can work in the WH and not have people scream NEPOTISM....not that that seems to be working......I'm not really sure the two things have anything to do with each other anyway, the lack of a salary is probably for a tax dodge

It violates no law.....Yeah, imagine that, it's almost as if not being paid for it doesn't stop it from being nepotistic
It violates no law.....
Like this...How are they running the government?....after all they are not POTUS.
Just because they're not being paid, it does not mean they are not seeing a benefit that is directly because of their unearned, unqualified position.And I would assume this is the penalty for doing so:
(c)
An individual appointed, employed, promoted, or advanced in violation of this section is not entitled to pay, and money may not be paid from the Treasury as pay to an individual so appointed, employed, promoted, or advanced.
Same as I pointed out in an earlier post on this thread. So if someone is working in a position but accepts no pay (Ivanka and Trump Jr.).........?
Only by Biblical standards if that is what you mean. Where in the Bible does it say nepotism is wrong?Do I really need to point out to a Christian member of this establishment that things can violate no laws (as they currently stand) and yet still be wrong
That is not evidence, that is supposition.

You mean like Obama becoming filthy rich after he leaves office?Just because they're not being paid, it does not mean they are not seeing a benefit that is directly because of their unearned, unqualified position.
Like a general principle that although abortion is legal I believe it is wrong? And here I keep being told that is just my opinion......Thanks for clearing that up.I'm more referring to a general principle that you and I both agree with - that just because something is not illegal at this point in time does not mean it is above question.
So going 'it's not illegal tho' doesn't really mean anything.
Of course not....Not sure how that's related.

Sorry.Of course not....
Not the kids, Michelle. Wrote several books while Barack was in office some that became best sellers(?). Would that have happened had she been Michelle Obama living in Podunk, IL? Sometimes nepotism is simply by association.....like Ivanka and Trump Jr......but that is not their fault.Sorry.
Let me be clearer:
Could you explain how your obama reference is related? I honestly didn't know Malia and Sasha had multimillion dollar companies and were on the WH staff list.
The First Lady writing books?Not the kids, Michelle. Wrote several books while Barack was in office some that became best sellers(?).

The First Lady writing books?
