[1] Like every US citizen facing criminal prosecution, he has a right to the legal presumption of innocence until proven guilty. But Menendez is also currently a member of the Senate Democratic leadership – the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee - and that is another matter entirely. He doesn’t have a right to continue in a position of leadership while he is under indictment; on the contrary, the responsible thing for him to do is resign from his leadership position while he is under indictment. That’s what Rep. Charlie Rangel did when he was under an ethics investigation. Indeed, under the rules of the Senate Republican caucus, it’s *automatic* that a Senator under indictment has to resign from leadership. *Join over 10,000 others in pressing Menendez to step down from leadership by signing our petition at MoveOn: http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/menendez-resign <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?key=-1&url_num=5&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justforeignpolicy.org%2Fact%2Fmenendez-resign>* Thanks for all you do to help make US foreign policy more transparent and accountable, Robert Naiman and Megan Iorio Just Foreign Policy *Help fund our work with a $15 tax-deductible donation.* We're funded by people like you, so if you value what we do, help us keep it going with a $15 tax-deductible donation. http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/donate <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?key=-1&url_num=6&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justforeignpolicy.org%2Fdonate> References: 1. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/02/nyregion/senator-robert-menendez-indicted-on-corruption-charges.html [image: Please support our work.
