So what does this mean in this grand scheme of things?

They still need a special election for his seat. It's Florida law. (Which he would win easily)

It's better than that.

R senators will now be obligated to approve Trump's replacement pick for AG.

No. But they (and the Dems), would look like petty obstructionists if they fight the next pick as well.

This was all a giant chess game, expertly played by a chess master.

ABC "News" is not a source I would trust.

If Gaetz or another member does not report to the Capitol to record their presence, that district's seat will be designated vacant..

No special election has been called for FL-1.

ABC News literally just copied and pasted from the House and Florida State rulebook.

I'm sure Pizzagatez career will go on for a long time with the shite Trump has gotten the republican voters accustomed to letting slide.

Lol.

How did the chess master do first time around?

The idolatry is baffling.

Any idolatry I possess is solely reserved for my Lord and Savior, not Donald Trump.

But yes, he’s learned to play the system that has done nothing but play the people. And for that, I’m laughing … and grateful.

LINK . Remember when George Constanta quit his job and then returned like nothing happened. Gaetz should try that.

I'm all for it but this is some Bidensque logic.

Copying Florida State is not a good move this year.

I’m reading the ABC article that he can have his name read by the clerk as intended to serve FL-1 in the 119th Congress, show up on the first session and still take his seat. He cannot return to the 18th in lame duck.

That’s what I’m seeing. No need for special election since one hasn’t been called and he is still Congressman elect for FL-1 of the 119th Congress

Actually, she's a female, and any R that votes against her will be marked and done. Especially Collins and Murkowski.

Gaetz is not involved in any other dimensions of chess. It was obvious as hell that he’d never be the AG and seemed more of a troll than anything

He could have just resigned without being the AG nominee.
