Being a High Priest in the mormons' Melchizedek priesthood is the highest rank.

After that it's a matter of holding various leadership offices. Being the president and prophet of the church is the highest office...Joe Smith had a candidacy for president in 1844

I do not like Mitt, but he has the right to run for president, no matter what his position.

Most specifically, you need to read Article VI.
