Spoilers ahead forThe Politicianand the New York State constitution.

The Politicianis a truly bonkers show.

This show is the definition of a lot.

Part of that comes from the New York State Constitution and the other part is the Public Officers Law.

(She also asked if Id recommendThe Politician.

Uh, its definitely an insane show, I answered.)

Hobart does meet some of the requirements.

Being a resident of the district where youre running for 12 months immediately preceding the election?

But that still leaves the problem of the five-year-minimum residency rule.

It appears to already be an election year.

Butwhenduring election year is it?

Alas, the scenery and wardrobe choices in the finale arent totally indicative.

The cast is clad in coats and hats and turtleneck sweaters.

When Hobart visits Harvard, again wearing a scarf and light jacket, the campus still has green grass.

Which leaves us a few options.

Or … its September.

Either way, its impossible for Hobart to hit the five-year residency mark and make his run legitimate.
