Louisiana Governor Resignation Question Sparks Attorney debate
Discussion across Louisiana centers on whether a governor can resign when the state constitution lacks a clear provision. Attorneys note the issue hinges on succession and the governor remaining in office as long as state residency continues. Dick Leche reportedly resolved a similar question in 1939 by resigning as top officer.
