Esquires in Congress
Constitution Article I Section 6 Paragraph 2: "...; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office."
I have heard, that lawyers and attorneys, who "practice" law in the courts of the United States, (as well as in the courts of the states) are Officers of the Court, and must swear and file an Oath of Office to uphold the Constitution in the capacity as an Officer of the Court.
If this is true, then might it not follow that:
an Officer of the Court of the United States would be "a Person holding Office under the United States" (under the "The judicial Power of the United States," Constitution Article III), and thus, apparently, according to the Constitution, shall not "be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office?"
