DeSantis has stood for Floridians, but is anyone bothered how he is deliberately disobeying a Florida law that states any politician who holds an office must resign from that office if he/she are plans to run for another office?

It seems to be generally understood that law doesn’t apply to candidates for federal office, in particular President. But the Florida legislature is currently amending the law to make that entirely clear.

“ Exceptions to the resign-to-run law:
o Political party offices; or
o Persons serving without salary on an appointed board or authority.
o Candidates for federal office;
o Persons seeking the office of President or Vice President. (ss. 99.012(3)(a), (6), and (7),F.S.)”
