Trent Lott to Resign
Posted by Michael Link on November 26, 2007 at 11:53 AM
Sen. Trent Lott will be resigning from the Senate before the end of the year, before the end of his term, leading to a lot of speculation about the reasons for such a sudden departure.
One rumor:
A Lott friend said part of the reason, and a factor in the timing, is a new lobbying regulation, signed by President Bush in September, extending the existing lobbying ban for former members of Congress from one to two years. The lobbying ban takes effect at the beginning of the year.
What a way to go out...
