Speaker of the US House of Representatives: Menendez should resign on corruption charges

  The speaker of the United States House of Representatives has asked the Democratic senator, Bob Menendez, to resign on suspicion of accepting bribes. It's after US prosecutors charged Senator Bob Menendez and his wife with accepting bribes from three New Jersey businessmen. Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, has called for the resignation of Menendez after the request of many members of the Democratic and Republican parties in the US Congress to demand that Menendez be charged. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican Speaker of the US Congress, has emphasized that Menendez should resign from receiving bribes.

The leader of the majority in the US Senate Chuck Schumer has said that Menendez will temporarily resign as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations until the case is decided. Political experts believe that accusing Bob Menendez and his wife of accepting bribes will cause problems for the Democrats in next year's elections in an effort to maintain their majority in the US Senate.
