JOSH BLACKMAN AND SETH BARRETT TILLMAN: Senator-Governor Klobuchar and the Problem of the Received Wisdom. “In these circumstances, the law does not expressly bar dual-officeholding where, as here, the two positions are U.S. Senator and Minnesota Governor. The U.S. Constitution’s Incompatibility Clause (Article I, Section 6, Clause 2) bars U.S. Senators and Representatives from concurrently holding certain other federal positions. The position of governor is a state, not a federal position. So, this provision has no application here. . . .

It has no application to state positions, e.g., governor.”
