President Obama, through White House Counsel Gregory Craig, accepted Kent’s resignation. This means no disability-based resignation and no pension/retirement benefits related to Kent’s former judgeship. The House impeached Kent on June 19. Kent’s resignation will almost certainly forestall a Senate trial on the impeachment. Hard to impeach someone who has already resigned. The Houston Chronicle carries Suzanne Gamboa’s AP story here.
