“Don’t know how you write a law or state constitution to correct this kind of injustice.”
It’s already written into the State Constitution that he cannot voluntarily resign to escape impeachment without full filling the terms of his election time . Article IV section 1 of the State Constitution states:
“The executive power shall be vested in the governor, who shall hold office for four years...”
It doesn’t say can, it says shall. If he fails to remain in office for any reason other than death or criminal actions, by the way this is written, he cannot do that with the word “shall.”
It is within the State Constitution that if he is incapacitated and cannot serve, it is within the duties of the lieutenant-governor to assume office. But no where does it say he can resign or purposely fail to complete the term of four years or any following terms of four years he is elected to serve.
Now, whether the state legislature accomplishes what they are contractually required to do is up to the state. And that would be to not allow him to resign and prosecute the impeachment process. He remains governor during this just like Clinton and Trump were president during their impeachment process.
