Too bad you can't discuss those appointments before the election (candidates can't even contact potential cabinet people for vetting or to feel them out until after the election results are in).
Can you post the part of the law that states you can't discuss appointments before an election or where it says you can't even contact potential cabinet people for vetting to feel them out?

From the law you posted my guess is proving the for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy would be a problem unless Bolton is on record or known to be supporting someone else.
