New York governor Andrew Cuomo prepares to board a helicopter after announcing his resignation. Cuomo says he will resign following a barrage of sexual-harassment allegations.

But with Cuomo set to leave office in 14 days, it’s unclear where the plans for impeachment stand. Although his resignation might have been Cuomo’s attempt to avoid a potential Senate trial, many still view impeachment as the only way to hold the governor accountable. “That means prosecuting Cuomo to the full extent of the law. And it means moving forward with impeachment, to bar him from running for statewide office ever again,” Nixon said in a tweet.
If no ban is instituted, Cuomo could run for a fourth term down the line, as the State of New York has no gubernatorial term limits.
