I’m wondering if Weiner wants to stay on so he could run for reelection, lose and get to keep the leftover millions in campaign contributions. He has no marketable skill outside of politics.
I don't think that's permitted anymore. I believe 1990 or 1992 was the last year members of Congress were allowed to do that, which is one reason why there was a large turnover in House seats in the early 1990s. A lot of long-time Congressmen took the money and ran when they had the opportunity.
