Barack’s law license was surrendered in lieu of action against it for falsifying portions of his original license application. Another blogger maintained there was some malfeasance (unspecified) involved and the “retirement” avoided action like disbarment or suspension.
As for Michelle’s law license, there was similar speculation by bloggers. One blogger pointed to Michelle’s involvement in the patient-dumping scheme while she worked for a large hospital system in Chicago. I am not sure, but I believe that is the job where she obtained an obscene salary increase after Bar-O was elected Senator.
I will reiterate for our usual lurking trolls that these are what bloggers reported–not me.
I don’t know the reason, but I do find it strange that they would retire their law licenses so early in life unless there was some significant driving force behind it. Most professionals, once licensed, maintain their licenses even well into retirement to be able to work part-time should the need arise.
