*Suan made that she didn't like me clear

When a sentence includes an object complement, the DO that clause must be extraposed.

A sentence like Susan make her position clear is perfectly acceptable, but *Suan made that she didn't like me clear is ungrammatical. Extraposing the DO restores grammaticality--Susan made it clear that she didn't like me.
