He waited until the legislature’s session finished for the year before beginning his campaign. Try again.

So then being governor of Texes isn't a full time job when the legislature isn't in session?

Okay, I’ll try one more time to explain it to you again. The Governor is the State’s Chief Executive. He is expected to execute the laws of the state, whether or not the legislature is in session or not. He is well-paid by the taxpayers to perform this function; the legislators are not. He was not elected, nor is he supposed to be paid, to turn over his responsibilities as governor to his minions while he mounts a presidential campaign. Being Governor is itself a fulltime job. This state is facing many problems right now that need the Governor’s complete attention.
