    WASHINGTON, March 28 — President Bush today announced the resignation of his chief of staff, Andrew H. Card Jr., in the first major staffing change of his troubled second term.

    Mr. Card will be replaced by Joshua Bolten, a long-time Bush adviser who is now the budget director.

    At a brief, televised Oval Office ceremony, Mr. Bush said that Mr. Card had approached him "and raised the possibility of stepping down.

    "He thought it might be time to return to private life," Mr. Bush said, adding that he had decided last weekend to accept Mr. Card's resignation. Mr. Bush has come under increasing pressure in recent months from members of his own party to shake up his staff as a way of turning around his decline in popularity.

    Whenever a politician 'returns to private life' you can bet that he's likely to soon be indicted, or is under investigation (probably by Fitzgerald).

    Or maybe it's normal for a White House (especially having political difficulties) to turn over the cabinet during a two term stint.
