A judge in Texas recently resigned by accident after he publicized his intention to run for the state's Supreme Court.
Democrat William "Bill" McLeod has served as a judge in Harris County Civil Court at Law Number Four since January. Thinking of the future, McLeod posted online his plans to run for the state's highest court.
He told KHOU that soon after, someone showed him the Texas Constitution, specifically Article 16, Section 65, which applies to district and county clerks, county judges, and judges of county courts at law, among other positions.
The law states that if any of those holding the aforementioned offices announce their candidacy for another office or become an actual candidate, "such announcement or such candidacy shall constitute an automatic resignation of the office then held."

Just one of the many incompetent rats who were swept into power in Harris County last Fall because the suburban women were upset about — uh — like — uh — Trump’s tweets — um — or something.

Thats a good law!. I wish it applied to EVERY office, nation wide.

It’s 2019 now. He could have merely declaired the law unconstitutional, and be fine.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking the law.
Been told that since I was a child.
