COLUMBIA, S.C. - Sixty Republicans in the S.C. House asked Gov. Mark Sanford to resign yesterday, questioning his ability to lead the state since his unannounced summertime trip to see a mistress in Argentina and investigations of his state and private travel that followed.
"Your decision to abandon our state for five days, with no defined order of succession and with no known way to contact you, is inexcusable," said a letter from the legislators signed by the House majority leader, Rep. Kenny Bingham.
The letter, which listed the names of 59 other legislators, came a day after the House speaker issued a similar call. Any move to impeach Sanford, a Republican, would begin in the House, which has 72 Republicans, 51 Democrats and one empty seat.
