In some countries, it is not uncommon for a person in office to run for another office without resigning, unless the person wins the second office.

While I am not debating the merits, pro or con, it is done IRL.

Does our Code of Laws specifically forbid this practice?

Which countries are we talking about here though?
Nicaragua?

actually, democratic VP joe leiberman was from Connecticut (i think) and they let him run for VP while still holding his Senator's spot, or whatever he was... i forget, so he didnt LOSE his job.

but thats not whats happeneing here, we're having simultaneous elections

First, though I'm jonny's a great guy and would be great to fill in Linney's spot, he was never elected so we must elect a new IE Minister to keep up at least some semblance of Democracy. Sure, jonny can fill in for linney while as of now, but once the elections are done, he's back to regular citizen (that is, unless he gets voted in).

Secondly, I fon't mean to pick hairs, but Trip, it's spelled candidacy, not canidacy.

WE ARE a banana republic...uh democracy, but whatever. And kring is right, happens all the time. Mel Carnahan (ex- and dead governor of Missouri, my state so i know) was governor but ran for senator. Bush was governor of Texas when running for prez, and GOre was still VP.
