More than once, Candidates running for the Presidency have run for Ree******n of their House or Senate Seat as well... And I wouldn't be surprised if House Members have run for both the House and Senate at the same time...
To me, this is like "hedging their beats", "getting 2 bites of the apple", doubling their chances of remaining in D.C....
And I understand an Amendment like this is fool-hearty...
I therefore recommend that we should not v**e at all for anyone who does this... And we should write our DNC and RNC to make this a rule their Candidates cannot run for more than one Federal Elected Office at a time...
I know this is almost as fool-hearty, but the way the Political Parties have amended their rules over the past decade or 5, at least it has a "snowball's chance in hell"...

I also think they should quit the job they have to run for any office. As an employee, I could not take off and run for office and if I did not make it, go back to my job.
