It Depends on what the Meaning of Resign Is
Avedon Carol
notes the 'resignation' of Katherine Harris as Florida Secretary of State. Harris's resignation, submitted in August, is effective July 15, becasue she was legally required to resign then. However, she has been appointed acting Secretary of State by Jeb Bush, so she continues to hold the office and presumably receive the pay even though she resigned yesterday and her resignation 'took effect' a few weeks ago.
Hey, why bother actually being honest when you can do whatever you like and then define honest as whatever you did?
