No, a member of Congress cannot serve simultaneously as a cabinet member. The Constitution prohibits members from holding any other office in the executive branch while serving in Congress. If a member is appointed to a cabinet position, they would need to resign from their congressional post.
A member for life unless they resign or are removed from office typically refers to a position such as a judge or a member of certain legislative bodies, like the U.S. Supreme Court justices. These individuals are appointed for life terms to ensure judicial independence and stability in the legal system. Their tenure continues until they choose to retire or are impeached and removed by Congress.
