Where in the US constitution does it say that government officials can’t be electors? No where that I can find.
Mike:
You will find this language in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution: “…no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.”
Hope that helps!
