Gaetz as AG nominee
Is anyone clear on if he remains a congressman or did he manage to resign his 2025-2027 term proactively?

From CNN:

Quote
Senior congressional leaders in both parties are scrambling to determine if Matt Gaetz can return to the House next year after he abruptly pulled himself from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general.

But an early consensus is emerging at all levels of House leadership: Lawmakers and senior aides believe that Gaetz can still return in January — a scenario that some have privately feared could happen all along, according to more than a dozen sources.

Given the way Gaetz carefully crafted his resignation letter earlier this month, multiple sources tell CNN that there may be nothing stopping Gaetz from being sworn in at the start of the next Congress.

Even though Gaetz said in his resignation letter that he does “not intend to take the oath of office” next January, congressional sources say he is still on track to be named to the seat because the governor has not yet called a special election and he cannot preemptively resign from a Congress that has not started yet.

But there are a lot of factors at play, and it’s a complicated question with murky legal precedent. Some lawmakers have already asked the parliamentarian to weigh in and clear up the confusion, one source told CNN.

this is just nuts, but sounds like he could resign to get out of the ethics investigation, then start again in January and they would have to start a new investigation...which is never going to happen

I am glad that the possibility of him being AG was just to create liberal tears more than actually happening
but these things then distract from the other picks, because you can't stop thinking about the insanely crazy one

Your first paragraph is insane. I hadn’t even thought of that. Thanks for sharing.

I can't believe we have these to thank for this
The New York Times reported that four Republican senators were hard Nos on Gaetz—Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and incoming Utah Sen. John Curtis

Matt Gaetz will not return to Congress
“There are a number of fantastic Floridians who stepped up to run for my seat, people who have inspired with their heroism, with their public service,” Gaetz said. “And I’m actually excited to see north-west Florida go to new heights and have great representation.
“I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress,” he said.

Gaetz as AG nominee

So it’s looking like he can’t take his seat back

But in good news, I heard he’s getting work via cameo at $500 a pop
