Has anyone seen a formal resignation letter from Cuomo with a signature at the bottom? Surely such a formal document is legally necessary, given the nature of the powers Cuomo holds as chief executive of the state of New York. He must forswear his office as a matter of functional law so that it can be vacated before his successor, Kathy Hochul, is sworn in.
His resignation is supposed to take effect in eight days. Where is the letter?
Might it be that Cuomo has a scheme to stick around? Could this whole resignation business be a kind of trial balloon — to see whether things might change so dramatically due to unforeseen circumstances that he might have grounds to rescind his resignation?
David Paterson, whom Cuomo succeeded as governor, said it last week: “It was just a little puzzling that they wanted to have that amount of time … It’s suspicious, I’ll put it that way.”
This obviously outrageous idea may have seemed a tad less outrageous on Friday, when Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie unilaterally suspended the impeachment proceeding against Cuomo.
Heastie was doing so based on the theory that Cuomo’s departure made any such investigation unnecessary. But imagine how Cuomo, who often seems merely delusional when he doesn’t seem psychopathic, might have taken it. He might have thought: “Look, a bullet dodged. Maybe I’ll dodge a few more, and then I’ll just stick around.”
Again, try to think like Cuomo. The tide conclusively turned against him when President Biden said he should resign. Now Biden is in a nearly unprecedented crisis himself with his horrible Afghanistan disaster. If Biden loses the confidence of the public in the next week, might Cuomo not have it in his Machiavellian head that he might have a case to make for staying?

He ain’t leaving, now that Afghanistan has happened, he’s old news, and can slither his way back.
I thought it was a 2 week notice and it hasn’t been 2 weeks so ...
Again, try to think like Cuomo.........
Absolutely no. It could poison my mind.
I really feel sorry for the three conservatives that live in NYS.

I think he said 2-3 weeks. Can’t recall which.
“Again, try to think like Cuomo.”
This is the KEY. It’s virtually impossible to do so, but think of what it must be like to have been raised, from Day 1, to be another JFK (even marrying a Kennedy, at one point), whose ONLY purpose in life was to rule over people. No useful skills like plumbing, garbage collection, pulling weeds, NOTHING.
...and then find out that you’re not a JFK, not even close (as far as getting away with abusing women), not even a Bill Clinton - but instead a Gary Hart.
So now what - even the usual golden parachute (retiring or losing and becoming a lobbyist) is closed out to you, since no male client of yours will be able to keep a straight face and all of the potential female clients will be scared to death to be anywhere near you.
...so, give it a shot, see if you can ride it out, nothing to lose.
They’ll have to drag him out, kicking and screaming.
Trying to remember, did Elliot Spitzer also have a problem with an overactive pecker?
Yup.
Client #9
He said 14 days!!!

There are many more than three. If you get up to Central and Western New York (and stay out of the cities), you still see Trump signs. We are here, just vastly outnumbered by the five boroughs.
As America devolves into the Soviet Union, you can expect to see many more Politburo-style machinations like these.
Generally, resignations or two week notice involve some sort of written document of notification. Where is the document?
Shadow governor, said this from the beginning.
I know this ass too well.
Michigan is the same way. Get rid of the tri-county area (metro Detroit) and it’s a conservative state.

Yes. Our family in Buffalo area are conservative. They love Trump
