    You mention family and smoother governance, but to some people their work connections are more important to them than their families and she could have thought that resigning would have been less smooth than trying to finish out the term.

    Those things are possible, but I really think that her identity was being a senator and she didn’t want to give that up.

      …her identity was being a senator and she didn’t want to give that up.

      Fuck her then. It’s the US Senate, not daddy’s law firm. No one should be in the Senate just because it makes them feel important. The job is too important for that.
