In my article on the letter I received from a lawyer who insisted — inaccurately — that Michelle Obama let her license to practice law go inactive when her husband surrendered his license in early 2008, I responded: “Did Romney surrender his license? No. Did either of the Clintons surrender theirs? No. Did Nixon surrender his? No.”
I was responding to the argument that it was to be expected that a candidate for the nomination of President would surrender his right to practice law. On the contrary, it had never happened before in American history.
Then I listed people who had not surrendered their licenses: Romney, both Clintons, and Nixon.
I thought this point was obvious: I was talking about the nomination. Romney is not President. Neither is Mrs. Clinton.
