Sent from my iPhone conservativefactcheck/content/articles/7 The Truth: I saw a note slide across the #TCOT feed on Twitter last night that mentioned Michelle Obama had no law license. This struck me as odd, since (a) she went to school to be a lawyer, and (b) she just recently held a position with the University of Chicago Hospitals as legal counsel — and thats a pretty hard job to qualify for without a law license. But being a licensed professional myself, I knew that every state not only requires licensure, they make it possible to check online the status of any licensed professional. So I did, and heres the results from the ARDC Website: She voluntarily surrendered her license in 1993. Let me explain what that means. A Voluntary Surrender is not something where you decide Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it? and forget to renew your license. No, a Voluntary Surrender is something you do when youve been accused of something, and you voluntarily surrender you license five seconds before the state suspends you. But when I searched for Obama, I found this: Voluntarily retired — what does that mean? Bill Clinton hung onto his law license until he was convicted of making a false statement in the Lewinsky case and had to Voluntarily Surrender his license too. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a lawyer. He surrendered his license back in 2008 possibly to escape charges that he fibbed on his bar application. This is the former editor of the Harvard Law Review who doesn’t seem to give a crap about his law license. Something else odd; while the Search feature brings up the names, any searches for the Disciplinary actions ends quickly. As in, Too Quickly. Less than a half-second quickly on a Search Engine that can take five seconds to Search for anything. As in, theres a block on that information kind of thing. So we have the first Lawyer President and First Lady — who dont actually have licenses to practice law. Theres more to this story, Im sure. Ill let you know when I find it.
