The Chicago Tribune is reporting that President-elect Obama will resign his Senate seat this Sunday. That is earlier than I expected but I suppose it is necessary with the lame duck session of Congress beginning next week, and with President-elect Obama stating that he will not be returning to Washington or to the Congress anytime soon. To avoid the prospect of him missing votes during this lame duck session, it was smart to resign now.
The question now becomes whether Vice President-elect Biden will follow suit, for the same reasons would apply. Biden was very emotional concerning his service as Delaware’s Senator during Veteran’s Day ceremonies on Tuesday. Hmmmm….
RESIGNATION IMMIMENT?
