The question raised by this original proceeding is whether article II, section 7 of the Hawaii State Constitution requires Plaintiff Steve Cobb to resign his State Senate seat in order to become a candidate for the United States House of Representatives. Cobb contends that article II, section 7 applies only to elected state and county officials who seek other state or county offices and not to candidates for federal offices.
