Abstract:     
Prior to the 2012 presidential election, Professor Dorf and Seth Barrett Tillman had an exchange titled: "Congressman and Vice President and President of the Senate: Can Paul Ryan hold them all at the same time?" The narrow constitutional/textual question went to the scope of the Constitution's Incompatibility Clause and dual-office holding, but the exchange quickly veered into deeper waters ... limits of textualism, interpretevism and the use of historical materials, and structuralism.
