Breaking News: Gonzales resigns

WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has announced his resignation, ending a monthslong standoff with critics who questioned his honesty and competence at the helm of the Justice Department.

President Bush accepted Gonzales' resignation on Friday. Solicitor General Paul Clement will act as attorney general until a replacement for Gonzales can be found. Democrats have constantly been saying that Gonzales was not the man for the job. They disagreed with the way that the department handled the firing of the U.S. attorneys. Perhaps this will make them a little happier until the new replacement has been found.
