Should those running for President have to relinquish their existing office?

In the USA, we have 3 serious contenders for the office of President. Each of them is a currently seated senator: Clinton from NY State, Obama from Illinois, and McCain from Arizona.

These 3 states are not getting the much needed attention of their elected officials because they are all too busy running a campaign for president. Should there be a law that would require a senator (governor, rep, etc...) to resign their current political seat if they choose to run for another office during their existing service period?

Absolutely. Many politicians do resign when concentrating on a higher office, but these current contenders are all afraid of losing the power they have if they don't win the bid election.

They have all missed a large number of votes in the Senate, so how is that serving the people that elected them?

I think anyone running for President should resign their current position to not only allow someone undertake his current responsibility but face the demanding campaign for the most power full office in the world.

People who hold elective office spend a large amount of their time running for office and raising funds even if they are just trying to keep their jobs, so the loss due to running for president instead is not as great as it seems. The biggest problem arises with a president running for re election, because the president does have a full time job. We could not ask him to resign, so how could we demand it from a senator.
