This was a serious act of omission for which I take full responsibility and which I deeply regret.
I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as president, I must put the interests of America first. Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon…
I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.
I am firmly convinced that the record, in its entirety, does not justify the extreme step of impeachment and removal of a President.
