The most likely date for the California gubernatorial recall election is September 14. County election officials have warned the state that it would be very costly and difficult to hold it any sooner.
If September 14 is the date, then the deadline for candidates to file for Governor will be July 17, a Saturday. The Secretary of State recently ruled that gubernatorial candidates will be required to submit copies of their income tax returns for the last five years. Although the part of the income tax law for candidates was held unconstitutional in both federal and state court for presidential primary candidates, that law covers gubernatorial candidates also and the court decisions did not pertain to gubernatorial candidates.
CA GOV QUALIFICATIONS IN CA CONST ???
IF SO, THEN INC TAX STUFF IS BLATANTLY UNCON –
SUPER-ADDED QUALIF. —- POSING AS BALLOT ACCESS ITEM.
It’s not in the California Constitution.
Why are you yelling, fucking retard? Go away.
He makes a good point.
ALL officer qualifs –

The troll at 11:40pm is the same one who has elsewhere admonished people for vulgarity.
CA Const Art. V.
—
Sec. 2 [spacing added]
The Governor shall be elected every fourth year at the same time and places as members of the Assembly and hold office from the Monday after January 1 following the election until a successor qualifies.
The Governor shall be an elector who has been a citizen of the United States and a resident of this State for 5 years immediately preceding the Governor’s election.
The Governor may not hold other public office.
No Governor may serve more than 2 terms.
(Sec. 2 amended Nov. 6, 1990, by Prop. 140. Initiative measure.)
Wouldn’t that be two consecutive terms? Edmund Gerald Br0wn Jr. served as the 34th and 39th governor of California from 1975 to 1983 and 2011 to 2019.
@Kali,
See Article XX, Section 7, which exempts those elected before 1990.
All governors elected before 1990 but Jerry Br0wn are dead. George Deukmajian could have been elected up until his death in 2018. Ronald Reagan was eligible until 2004. Pat Br0wn was eligible until 1996.
Mike Curb is still eligible to serve two additional terms as Lieutenant Governor.
Gray Davis may be elected one additional term as Controller.
Jerry Br0wn may be elected two more terms as SOS.
March Fong Eu would have been eligible for one more term as SOS (her 6th) but for her death in 2017.
Thank you, that makes sense.
Top execs — unlimited terms — BUT NOT be same exec in next term of such exec office ???
IE – have all other execs prosecute a hack for crimes/torts during each term.
NOOO exec pardons — in courts only – due to false / omitted evidence
How many folks in jail [or killed by govts] in *high* profile crimes due to FALSE evidence ???
After the wildfire and rolling blackout season Newsome may be burned toast.
