This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.
Time is now of the essence with regard to the trade bill.
I firmly believe that our current fiscal situation demands national unanimity on the issues of a larger concern.
Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
