Although I agree that there shouldn't be a bunch of rules for who can run, I really think having the president also be an RA is a bad idea. If he wants to be an RA and another officer, that would probably be fine. But can this be resolved in voting? Is there someone else who wants to be president?
But it sounds like you have an issue with guys wanting to live in and that should probably be addressed in conjunction with this election waiver issue. Getting just over half of your membership to live in shouldn't be this hard and the president should be leading the charge on this change in thinking.
I also hate slates. I don't think fraternities do them and women did/do it out of some sort of polite-society issue. We all know it just pushes the politicking into the back room and I'd rather have it be transparent.
