[King of Florida]

Florida has a “resign to run” law - meaning Crist would be forced to resign as governor the moment he accepted a VP nomination.

Not anymore.

Florida DID have a resign-to-run law for candidates seeking office at all levels, but it was amended last year to remove the resignation requirement if the candidate is seeking office at the federal level.

This was done specifically with Crist in mind. It was passed as part of the package that moved up the primary date.
