Regardless of what the Village Idiot thinks, Ivanka Trump can't be Ambassador to the UN

At least, not in her father's administration.

The UN Ambassador is a Cabinet-Level Official, earning $199,700 per year. Cabinet-Level Officials work directly for the president, or Trump in this case. Due to federal nepotism laws, a president's (or Trump's, in this case) relatives can't hold paid positions in his staff. And due to the 13th Amendment, a Cabinet-Level Official isn't allowed to work for free.

Even though the most unqualified person to ever work for the federal government in any capacity believes his daughter is the most qualified person in the world to be Ambassador to the UN, the only way she could legally take the job is for Dipshit to resign.

it's a win-win: we get rid of dipshit donnie, and his daughter gets a high-profile job she will suck at, just as she sucks at her current job.
