John Bolton resigned as Ambassador to the United Nations.
In August 2005, Bolton was given a temporary recess appointment after he failed to be confirmed by the Senate. Last month President Bush re-nominated Bolton but a number of Democratic and Republican Senators announced they would not back his confirmation.
* President Bush: “I received the resignation of Ambassador John Bolton. I accept it. I’m not happy about it. I think he deserved to be confirmed. And the reason why I think he deserved to be confirmed is because I know he did a fabulous job for the country.”
One top contender to replace Bolton is reported to be Zalmay Khalizad, the U.S. ambassador in Iraq.
