Contradiction
Was she appointed to an elected office? See Secretary of the United States Senate. TonyTheTiger 18:48, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, she was appointed to an elected office. Under the rules of the Senate, the office of Secretary of the Senate is elected (Erickson was elected by S.Res. 8 (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:S.+Res.+8:).  However, by agreement of the two parties, the Majority Leader gets to "appoint" the Secretary of the Senate, and the election is mearly ceremonial. meamemg 01:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
