He has to by State law and then they will have a special election in 2020 for the last two years.
Once again, sarcasm is lost in the typewritten word.

Liberals aren't Americans? John F. Kennedy wasn't an American?
The fact of the matter is Andrew Gillum - the Dem candidate for governor of Florida, is a smart, decent man. No need to baselessly attack and ostracize him, as Trump and the right is doing. Really, the simple fact he's a liberal Democrat makes you squimish? For the GOP you have Trump cockholster Ron DeSantis, pretty much a racist ******* from what I've seen from him. Easy choice, you vote for the better, smarter man. That's how it should be. Screaming 'liberals, liberals!' in horror makes Trump and the right look small and petty.
Couple weeks ago Gillum started running this ad with a bunch of crap at the end, sped up so fast you can't read it. If any Evelyn Wood graduates can keep up, do share.
ST, stop monkeying with the facts.So let's see about JFK and today's liberalism.
- Tax decreases, basically for the upper income taxpayers. Trump, Reagan ... and Kennedy? Check.
- Virulent anti-Communist? Reagan, Kennedy ... check.
- Used American military to fight communism in distant countries? Reagan, Kennedy ... check.
- Use military to exterminate sworn enemy of United States overseas? Trump, Kennedy ... check.
- Favored business-friendly reduction of regulations to let American companies boom and dominate? Reagan, Trump, Kennedy ... check.
- Preach self-reliance and making yourself better, rather than relying on government largess? Reagan, Trump, Kennedy ... check.
- Favor reasonable limits even on LEGAL immigration due to the fact that the United States "no longer needs settlers for virgin lands," and our "economy is growing more slowly" than it was during the 19th and early 20th centuries? Trump, Kennedy ... check.
- Criticize and dismiss party affiliation as the be-all, end-all, and instead focus on what is the right answer? Reagan, Trump, Kennedy ... check.
- Oppose trade barriers so that United States products could be shipped overseas and the U.S. economy benefit? Reagan, Trump, Kennedy ... check. Kennedy held that belief even while the U.S. economy had a massive trade SURPLUS.
So Tibs, Kennedy today would be the target of massive protests, and antifasshole riots, and burning cars, and on and on.
I have written that I would of course vote for a (D), if he or she held views like Kennedy or Truman. Why? Because those (D)'s were principled, well-grounded, cared about America more than they did Europe or Asia, looked after American citizens, and implemented policies that saw America become a great superpower.
Policies - tax cuts, reducing regulations, opposition to our foreign enemies, use of force overseas when necessary, reasonable legal immigration policies, opposition to trade barriers on U.S. goods, promotion of self-reliance and not reliance on government - that Reagan and Trump implemented, to make America vastly STRONGER than it was under Truman and Kennedy.
Fact.
Today's (D)'s are an embarrassment to the nation and the living, breathing, undeniable embodiment of small and petty.
Shout down opposing views? (D)'s - check, (R) no.
Attack and maul political opponents? (D)'s - check, (R) no.
Slander political opponents? (D)'s - check, (R) no.
Whine and sob and weep - literally - over election results? (D)'s - check, (R) no.
Refuse to accept election results? (D)'s - check, (R) no.
Demand that the population accept a guy wearing a dress as normal? (D)'s - check, (R) no.
The list goes on and on, but frankly spoiled, whining (D)'s just aren't worth the time to add to the list.

Tallahassee Mayor and Florida Democratic Gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum said...
“I think...
Tallahassee Mayor and Florida Democratic Gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum said that for Florida to do a Medicare for all system, “we would have to do it as a confederation of states. We could not do it by ourselves solely here in the state of Florida.”
“I think for Florida to move in that direction, we would have to do it as a confederation of states. We could not do it by ourselves solely here in the state of Florida. Because it would collapse the system. We would only attract the sickest of patients and it wouldn’t work. But could you imagine if we could team up with the states of New York, California, Florida, maybe even Texas even, Illinois, and other progressive-thinking states and bargain on behalf of the citizens?"
Uh yeah, I can imagine that. For the very same reasons it would collapse their systems too.
President Trump cancels scheduled civilian pay raises for most federal employees
In a letter to House and Senate leaders, Trump claimed "federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases."
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he was canceling pay raises for most federal employees that had been set to go into effect in January, citing government budget concerns.
In a letter to House and Senate leaders, Trump wrote that he’d decided “across-the-board” pay raises as well as locality pay raises for civilian federal workers in 2019 would be frozen.
“I have determined that for 2019, both across‑the‑board pay increases and locality pay increases will be set at zero,” he wrote. “These alternative pay plan decisions will not materially affect our ability to attract and retain a well‑qualified Federal workforce,” Trump added.
In the letter, Trump said a 25.7-percent pay raise for localities, as well as a 2.1-percent pay increase for across-the-board pay, both scheduled for January 2019, would add billions to the federal deficit. Specifically, he pointed to the scheduled locality pay raise as costing $25 billion.
“We must maintain efforts to put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and Federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases,” Trump wrote in the letter.

25.7% pay raise? Our government sure is generous with OUR money and unrealistic too. Good for Trump. ( Sorry Sarge)
That's across the board pay raises which only seem to exist within government agencies. I'm sure merit based pay raises will still be honored. Personally I don't see how just being on the payroll guarantees a raise no matter if you do your job well or just show up on Fridays to collect a check.
If he can get the US govt to run like a business, and get the deficit headed in the other direction by cutting out the waste maybe I would go see him at a rally.
