>The legal question is - are House and Senate "officers" as contemplated by the Constitution? Most legal scholars say they are NOT, pointing out that the term "Officer" refers to an "Officer of the United States," a legal term that excludes members of Congress. Instead, officers of the USA are high level executives appointed by POTUS with the advice and consent of the Senate - in other words - CABINET HEADS.
Correct. Membership in a parlement does not make you an officer. Cabinet in this case. I
BTW, in Canada and the UK there is a "board of directors" called the Privy Council that performs this function as well. The US may use the Electoral College similarly if they wanted to.
