New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo may still face consequences for his alleged sexual harassment of multiple women even though he has announced he is stepping down as governor in two weeks. Jennifer RodgersThe clearest and most immediate impact is on the impeachment inquiry in the New York State Assembly. Assuming Cuomo follows through with his promise to resign, that will likely end any attempts to impeach and remove him from office. Cuomo's resignation, then, saves the time and resources that a presumably hard-fought impeachment and trial would require, at the cost of losing the opportunity to bar him from holding office in New York again.
