No. A person may hold only one elective office at a time. Additionally, no elected official can hold ANY post in the executive branch of government.
Article I, Section 6 contains the prohibition on Congressman holding an executive or judicial office. It reads, "no person holding any office under the United States, shall be a member of either House during his continuance in office."

∙ 14y agoNo. An active duty military member may not run for an elected office.
Federal Law (Titles 10, 2, and 18, United States Code), Department of Defense (DOD) Directives, and specific military regulations strictly limit a military active duty person's participation in partisan political activities.

Yes. The day a service member swears in and leaves home for basic training they are placed on active duty status and remain there regardless of their actual job until graduation.

The Marine Corps Reserves do the EXACT same thing as active duty Marines except they are reserves. Instead of going to work EVERYDAY, they go to work once a month.

Every state has its own laws regarding whether a felon can serve on jury duty.
