Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer asks South Carolina Gov. Sanford to resign

Source: Greenville Online

COLUMBIA - Lt. Gov. Mark Sanford announced today he is asking Gov. Mark Sanford to resign, saying "serious misconduct" by Sanford as well as "continuing distractions" are making it impossible for the state to move forward.

Bauer promised he would forgo his own plans to run for governor if Sanford resigns in the next month or the Legislature impeaches him by then.

He would not detail what he considers "serious misconduct," the wording used in the state's constitution for impeachment, but said it is clear that Sanford is absorbed in his defense and that makes "it virtually impossible for our state to solve the serious problems we are facing without a change of leadership."
