So, I post the actual guidelines from the UN itself, and the stupid wing-nut clings to his lie because the Right lie in packs.Cool now you can inform all these authors.Selecting the next UN Secretary-GeneralHow about some links to inform us...The Right-wing gullible fools fall for this lie every time it is told!
Permanent members of the Security Council cannot become UN Secretary General, but the idiots swallowed the lie when told about Clinton and gobble the lie when told about Obama, proving the Right are the stupidest most misinformed boobs on the face of the Earth!!!
Accepted Practices
Advance discussion and political compromises behind closed doors generally ensure the nomination of a single candidate, usually from a middle power and with little prior fame, who is appointed by acclamation to a five year term. While high profile candidates are frequently touted for the job, these are almost always rejected as unpalatable to some governments. Although there is technically no limit to the number of five-year terms a Secretary-General may serve, UN Secretaries-General by convention serve two terms in office and are chosen on a rotational basis among the world’s geographic regions. While the rotational practice would now strongly encourage an Asian be selected in 2007, there are rumblings that Eastern Europe (technically a UN regional group) have not fielded a UNSG in the organization's 60 year history.
In 1996, the Security Council adopted a set of guidelines for the selection process proposed by then Permanent Represenative to the UN from Indonesia, H.E. Ambassador Nugroho Wisnumurti. The "Wisnumurti Guidelines" have continued to influence the selection process, including the use of approval voting on each of the suggested candidates through color-coded straw ballots.
Security Council Report, affilitated with Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, has produced an analysis that is an informative introduction for those new to the topic but substantive enough for those with a strong familiarity with the process. It provides an oversight of the history, process and procedures surrounding the selection, including a history of past SG’s selections and terms, recent GA resolutions that could play out this year and the weak basis of “traditions” such as regional rotation and the five-year term.
In addition, informal rules often influence the selection process. The best known is that nationals of permanent members of the Security Council - China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom or the United States - cannot be considered for the post, as such would invest an unwise amount of leverage over international decisions in one government, notwithstanding the statutory independence of the office. Less commonly known, and perhaps more questionable, is the informal requirement that candidates for UNSG must be fluent in English and French, which, while the dominant languages of international relations, are only two of the UN's six official languages.

Report: Obama Wants to Become UN Secretary General, Netanyahu Doing Everything He Can to Stop Him
Leah Barkoukis | Jan 10, 2016
It seems President Obama has no intention of stepping out of the White House and fading from the limelight. No, he’s got his sights set on the world stage—this time as secretary general of the United Nations, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.
But not all world leaders are keen to see this come to fruition, including first and foremost, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Washington Times reports:
...
Further gripes Israel has with President Obama include the U.S. “moving closer to the Muslim Brotherhood, toppling the regime of Hosni Mubarak, and attempts to ally itself with political Islam,” the paper quotes a Netanyahu aide as saying.

Leah Barkoukis - Report: Obama Wants to Become UN Secretary General, Netanyahu Doing Everything He Can to Stop Him
Every 'quote' is coming from the same Kuwaiti newspaper. Obama, Netanyahu, everyone. All citing anonymous sources.
With no other source nor paper backing any of it. Sounds fishy.

The UN is a collective of 3rd World elites replete with human rights violations who use the UN as a medium to wag its finger at US how racist and selfish we are. The U.S. nor its representatives or agents should ever apologize or explain itself to the 3rd World thugs.
