Bolton the ambassador that was appointed while Congress was in recess was unable to gain appointment and will resign.
QUOTE WASHINGTON - Unable to win Senate confirmation, U.N. Ambassador John Bolton will step down when his temporary appointment expires within weeks, the White House said Monday. John Bolton Bolton's nomination has languished in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for more than a year, blocked by Democrats and several Republicans. Sen. Lincoln Chafee, a moderate Republican who lost in the midterm elections Nov. 7 that swept Democrats to power in both houses of Congress, was adamantly opposed to Bolton. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...n.5157d9cd.html This post has been edited by jwttu: Dec 4 2006, 11:26 AM |
