FL's Resign to Run Law in regards Rubio's VP prospects

[ShadowRocket]

So Marco Rubio is undoubtly the GOP frontrunner for VP. The thing I'm wondering though is that FL has a resign to run law. At first glance, that would seem to make it illegal for Rubio to run for VP unless he resigns from the Senate. Which he isn't going to do.

So what I'm wondering is would there be any way for the eventual GOP nominee to get around this law if he wants to pick Rubio? Since whoever it ultimately is going to want to vet Rubio in spite of this.

I just looked it up; the Florida law doesn't apply for federal officeholders.

Thanks plenty. I guess that settles it then.

Rubio isn't an attractive choice for any of the Republicans still running.  He has too little experience to be a good fit for Romney, Neither Santorum nor Gingrich need him to shore up the base, and I can see Rubio wanting to be Paul's running mate.

Huntsman was probably the only one of the major candidates for whom Rubio would have warranted serious selection.

I think Romney probably has to pick someone that can energize the ticket. So in that regard, I think Rubio helps. Though I agree that his inexperience is a downside.
