She wasn't legally elected either which makes it even more bizarre.
This sounds like something someone would do if they break a law that only applies while in power, and can't follow them after they leave office, so step down for one day, then resume.

I do think this is the correct answer. It's the new jew trick to keep their illegal activities off the political office records. Just like the rules were relaxed for Fetterman with the dress code to give him a pass, this "one weird new trick" will be used to turn off a (((politician's))) accountability whenever they need to use it. It will be allowed under the ruse of "mental health day" or some other bullshit like that.
I just had another thought, doing something that would be illegal or considered inside trading/conflict of interest while being an elected official, so stepping down to do said thing, then reassuming the role.
Collecting bribes as a temporary private citizen?
Civics @ElephantCivics @katiehobbs@AZSecretary and @AZAGMayes are currently using the transfer of power to break the law. This is why @AZTreasurerYee Is in power. They are all currently at an event for @norscodems and the only reason to relinquish power at a political event is to do one of the following items. What are they hiding? -Accept gifts or other compensation from lobbyists or special interests -Use state resources for personal or political purposes -Engage in self-dealing or insider trading -Conflict with their official duties Abuse their power or authority Violate state ethics laws https://twitter.com/ElephantCivics/status/1707249460596588609
This isn’t abnormal. Politicians typically do this when they are out of state. The only thing odd about this instance specifically is that the fourth person down the line of succession, and is of the opposing party, now has the reigns for that period.
Maybe "stepping down" for a "Mental Health" tuneup. And the "step-down" will continue while deflections ("Oh Look, over there, no! Not There, Over THERE!") Probably more political obfuscations???
There's so much corruption and weirdness here. We don't have a lieutenant governor until 2026, so people asking about that don't realize that was recently voted on. She can pick from a few people to take over for her, but that's just so weird.
