This is something I never really see discussed.
Should someone elected to the Senate be required to fulfill their obligations; that is, serve the six year term before running for President and, if not, should a sitting Senator be required to resign his seat upon announcing his candidacy for the Presidency?
If a Senator decides to run for President, that means that Senator will, in all probability, be more focused on winning the Presidency than he will be on working on the issues important to his constituents.
I can see arguments for both sides...
