« RE: Dan Benham | Main | The collaspe of Argentina and it's similarities to EXACTLY what's happening to us »

When are you gonna let them know they're disqualified from running for re-election?

This is my second writting because I didn't recieve any response the 1st time. If this has to go to court, will you all be held negligent?



According to the Constitution of the State of Florida, many of our US Congressmen are disqualified from seeking office again. How long are you going to let this continue? Please respond by e-mail, phone, or in writting. Larry A. Davis, Sr. 9022 1st Ave., Jacksonville, FL 32208 (904) 535-6036



This is from the Constitution of the State of Florda

Article VI, Section 4. Disqualifications.

--



(a) No person convicted of a felony, or adjudicated in this or any other state to be mentally incompetent, shall be qualified to vote or hold office until restoration of civil rights or removal of disability.



(b) No person may appear on the ballot for re-election to any of the following offices:

(1) Florida representative,

(2) Florida senator,

(3) Florida Lieutenant governor,

(4) any office of the Florida cabinet,

(5) U.S. Representative from Florida, or

(6) U.S. Senator from Florida



if, by the end of the current term of office, the person will have served (or, but for resignation, would have served) in that office for eight consecutive years.
