One more down

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton announced on Monday he would soon give up his job after being unable to satisfy Senate opponents concerned he would pursue a unilateral U.S. foreign policy.

Bolton's attempt to hang on to his diplomatic post, already tenuous, became even more problematic after Democrats who had blocked his nomination won control of the Senate in November elections. Bolton was appointed on a temporary basis.
