Senator Joni Ernst Is also a Lieutenant Colonel In the Iowa Army National Guard. Should she resign her Commission?

She should resign her senate seat instead. You want to talk about working one weekend a month and two weeks a year, I don't think most elected officials work that much!!! Her time would better be spent in the Guard actually doing something instead of discussing how to deprive it of funding and us vets of our benefits.

I don't feel that is necessary. South Carolina has a Senator that is also an officer in the National Guard. Senator Graham has served well in both positions

I can't remember which RP member said it in a different discussion but, there is something about the Guard/Reserve where the person is not bound by the UCMJ like a Title 10 person is. When they are not actively serving they are considered private citizens.

I might have messed that up but if that is the case, I don't see any issues with her serving in the Congress.
