This leaves me in a quandry I can cite and verify that there is no law to bar someone holding both offices but the only cite I have there is precident not to is that it has nt happened If I only include in the article the part I can verify and cite that there is no law to bar holding dual offices then the article is misleading If I include that there is precident to not do so then the article is uncited If I fail to include it at all then we miss out inclusion of a notable fact This is not trivia Most other bicameral institutions do have an explicit bar and Congresses lack of one is notable and of interest Can you please suggest a way to re phrase this addition or help me in looking for cites to support the precident Incidently the seperation of powers between the three branches of government is explicit in the constitution It does not use the term but it does use language to describe a seperation of powers ie All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States means that the Congress is the lone and sole originator of legislative power
