Drew pay during campaign

My honest belief is Mr. George Bush should be denied the office of president – even if he should win the election – because he did not resign his position as governor of Texas in order to run. He was still governor and drawing governor’s pay all the weeks and months he was in other states campaigning for the office of president. A lot of people will probably disagree with me because they want their Republican in office, regardless of what he did or didn’t do. It’s too bad this country is getting so fouled up.
