John Bryson, the US commerce secretary resigns


John Bryson, the US Commerce Secretary tendered his resignation from the US cabinet and the US President Barrack Obama accepted it on Wednesday. It is unfortunate John Bryson resigned from the US cabinet within a year of his appointment with a overwhelming support from the US house of Senate. John Bryson in his letter of resignation admitted his inability to serve as the commerce secretary in the wake of his failing health due to seizure. Last week John Bryson, because of his seizure,involved in three hit and run cases in California.Fortunately no one was injured.John Bryson is under investigation for his involvement in the accidents.He underwent tests for alcohol and drug consumption and the results of his tests were negative.However, he is still under investigation for his hit and run felony cases.He was even admitted into a nearby hospital for medical treatment and immediately discharged.Hence he was actually on leave. Under the circumstances mentioned above,expressing his inability to continue as the commerce secretary in the cabinet,John Bryson resigned his post. President Obama appreciated his role and service as the commerce secretary in his cabinet and hailed him as a great leader. Recently, John Bryson during his tenure as the commerce secretary had even led a US trade delegation into India in his venture to promote trade relations with India. It is unfortunate that such a dynamic person had to quit his cabinet post due to his ill-health. The police authorities having confirmed that John Bryson was involved in all the three hit and run cases because of his seizure and so they refused to file charges against him.
