The only Republican Speaker to leave office without resigning in disgrace in the last 60 years....
Technically, he did resign in disgrace. Just several months after stepping down as Republican Leader.
Oh, I forgot about that. I had thought he didn't seek re-election. That's what Senate Majority Leader Frist did in 2006.
Yeah, Hastert stepped down as Republican leader in the House when the Republicans lost their majority in '06. This followed a few months of calls for Hastert to resign over his involvement in the Mark Foley scandal.
