It's Called The Hatch Act, Sheriff

Just in case there are any more Sheriffs in Florida that think it's perfectly ok to campaign for a presidential candidate, regardless of whether or not they use the name "Hussein", here's a little reminder of something called the Hatch Act:

The most restrictive measure was brought about by Republicans in the Senate. It dictates that persons below the policymaking level in the executive branch of the federal government must not only refrain from political practices that would be illegal for any citizen but must abstain from "any active part" in political campaigns.

An amendment on July 19, 1940 extended coverage to state and local employees whose salaries include any federal funds.
