https://www.yahoo.com/news/desantis-2024-prospects-prompt-fla-143954324.htmlA resign to run law requires state officeholders to commit to leave their positions if they run for federal office. The measure, which has been on and off the books over the past several decades, was reinstated in 2018. But Republican leaders in the GOP-dominated Legislature have expressed openness to changing or rescinding the law when they gather again in March.
Florida House Speaker Paul Renner recently told reporters that it was a great idea to review the law. Senate President Kathleen Passidomo similarly said that changes to the resignation requirement would be a good idea.
If an individual who is a Florida governor is running for president, I think he should be allowed to do it, she said.
DeSantis is emerging as an early favorite of some Republican donors and activists who are seeking a conservative leader without the baggage associated with former President Donald Trump, who has already announced his 2024 White House bid. In an underwhelming year for Republicans in much of the U.S., many in the party are taking notice of DeSantis' commanding reelection victory, including his strong performance in longtime Democratic strongholds around Miami.

and Republicans can remain in office? Remember, it doesnt have to be written very well as long as we get it before Clarence, Sam, Boof and Amy.

and Crazy Eyes can have some more material to add to their "stand up routines" for donors.

We (NJ) enacted a law that allowed Booker to run for the Senate and President at the same time.
Also - he (DeSantis) won't get the nomination. And if he does - he loses and Florida has to live with him a few years.
