Arkansas lieutenant governor, Mark Darr, announced his resignation after the state ethics commission discovered that he broke 11 campaign finance rules since 2010. Just following the ruling he admitted to being guilty and agreed to pay $11,000 in fines but refused to step down until now. Previously Governor Mike Beebe and others had called for his removal but in Arkansas, only the state legislature has the power to remove a lieutenant governor from office. 

I think it was a good idea for him to resign and I also think it's good that only the state legislature has the power to remove him. I think it can't be too easy to be able to remove government officials because then political enemies or people with other agendas would be able to abuse the system but it still must be possible.
