Obama's choices

Article 1, section 6, second clause. Link.

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.

All that means is that to be nominated officially (which hasn't happened yet, as Sen. Obama hasn't been sworn in as President) Sen. Clinton has to step down from the office of Senator of New York prior to appointment.
