12-6-3.   Filing for two offices at one election prohibited -- Party offices excepted. No person may be a candidate for nomination or election to more than one public office, no matter if such person appears on the ballot in name or is represented by electors pursuant to §   12-5-3.16 or 12-7-7. However, a candidate for any such office is not prohibited from being elected to any one or more party offices as may be provided in chapter 12-5.

..cause FDR was a governor, and Truman was his VP when he took power.

---

Truman became VP in 1945 in FDR's last term.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EASTERNERS! We get to party for 3 more hours.

[CyberAnt]

Of course, it depends a great deal on a state's laws. But ... there is a new SD law which says Daschle cannot run for President and Senator at the same time.

[sweetliberty]

"He is a senator with an ego at least half of the size of the state he represents"

Obviously overcompensation for his "concern" over his lack of stature or...anything else that might show him to be a man of importance.

Ike never held an elective office. He was a war hero.

LBJ was after JFK.

[Husker24]

Gee, I wonder who she could be?

[sweetliberty]

ROTFL! Perfect!

[Willie Green]

Can't be having a taller VP!

I know. I didn't think the infamous pit-yorkie was that tall.

[lonestar]

Since we don't have to worry about our candidate, maybe we can return the favor the Dems did in 2000 and help them choose their candidate.

I would have to hold my nose to vote for any of them but I would.

To everyone talking about it -- 'filing for two offices at one election.' What does that code mean? Is it same ballot inside the local jurisdiction? Or does SD have some kind of funky thing about federal elections? (In which case, what's the jurisdiction for that)

[lainie]

Picture a debate between daschle and gephardt. Should be a riot !!!!!!!!

I'd make popcorn.

[chnsmok]

Could you die from eating popcorn while asleep?

[clodkicker]

I would guess it means if he runs for president he cannot run for his senate seat also. I don't think he has to resign his seat.

[Nick Danger]

Seems to me the real significance of this (if true) is that it means that Daschle has concluded that there is no scenario under which he is going to become Majority Leader any time soon. There is no new "Jeffords" in the wings, no "palace coup" to be had. If he were going to be Majority Leader, he would not have time to run for President.
