f)1. The failure of an officer who qualifies for federal public office to submit a resignation pursuant to this subsection constitutes an automatic irrevocable resignation, effective immediately, from the office he or she presently holds.

it doesn't say a darn thing about the office being persued just that she would automatically be resigned from the current office, which she already took care of

Sounds like she was automatically "resigned" when she qualified as a congressional candidate and could owe FL two weeks pay (if she collected it) and that's about it.
