Alabama politicians keep having to resign. (The Economist, 4/12/2017)
Mr Bentley’s demise means the state has lost the leaders of all three branches of government in a matter of months. Last year Michael Hubbard was ousted as Speaker of the House after his conviction on ethics charges (he is appealing). Roy Moore was suspended as chief justice in a rumpus over his recalcitrant opposition to gay marriage. The reshuffle does not end there. After Jeff Sessions joined Donald Trump’s cabinet, it fell to Mr Bentley to nominate his successor in the Senate. He chose Luther Strange, the state’s attorney-general—whose office was investigating Mr Bentley. Three of Alabama’s past six governors have now.
