CURRENT NINETEENTH AMENDMENT:
NINETEENTH AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION
SECTION 1. Employment in more than one civil office shall be prohibited. In addition, holding a civil office and having a high-ranking position in the military shall be prohibited.
SECTION 2. A civil office is defined as a Cabinet-level, directorial, or Congressional position, as well as federal judges and supreme court justices. In addition, positions that must be approved by the Senate, except ambassadorial and military judicial positions, shall be deemed civil offices.
SECTION 3. A high-ranking position in the military is defined as being an officer of rank O9 or above, being a joint chief of staff or its chief. While service secretaries, their deputies or under-secretaries, and service chiefs are not military positions, for the sake of this amendment they will be treated as a high-ranking military position.
PROPOSED REVISION
NINETEENTH AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION
SECTION 1. Employment in more than one civil office shall be prohibited.
SECTION 2. A civil office is defined as a Cabinet-level, directorial, or Congressional position, as well as federal judges and supreme court justices. In addition, positions that must be approved by the Senate, excluding any military position that may require Senate approval. Shall be deemed civil offices
This removes any prohibition on United States Military positions, and eliminates section 3 all together. The reason for this revision is mainly due to the fact that USM is not a civil office in any capacity, and therefore it makes no sense for it to be on here.
