This really reminds me of the presidential primaries. Everyone trying to be earlier than the others.

Unfortunately, there's no central governing body to even try to limit it, so it's even more able to get ridiculous.

Since "campaigning for president" is undefinable, trying to limit it is absurd.

In some real sense, every US Senator and Governor is campaigning for president.

Those who are not "natural born citizens" of the United States (such as the current governor of California) cannot become President, by the Constitution, but, yes, for the most part most politicians of national prominence keep a future run for the presidency in mind in most of what they do.
