Could he be a State Governor and The Vice President at the same time? Interesting mmmmmmmm....
desantis was born and raised in florida...
he has 3 young children...
his wife recently battled breast cancer...
he’s not moving his family to the harsh miserable climate of washington dc anytime soon...
I don't think so. The emoluments clause would interfere.
Article II Section 1
The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.Taking a salary as the governor of Florida would be an emolument. Rejecting the salary would be a workaround, but then why bother with the headache of two stressful jobs?
