Larry Craig resigned as your headlines suggest, but then he took it back and un-resigned. He chose not to run for re-election and he completed his term.

It was pointed out to Craig that his airport arrest was likely unconstitutional, because Article I Section 6 Clause 1 says:

"They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."

Since Craig was traveling back to Idaho after the close of a session of the Senate, it was thought that he was immune to arrest.

I guess I forgot the final outcome, since he went through the resignation routine and a successor had already been chosen by the Governor of Idaho. It was a disgusting story and I generally don’t follow them in detail, but wait for the final outcomes.

That's what he was hoping for!
