Stealth ]Sessions[
Lawfags. Doesn't the president have to formally accept Sessions resignation?
Look at this article:
>After an early confrontation, Sessions gave Trump a resignation letter and let him hold onto it. The move deeply concerned White House aides, including then-Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who told Sessions that Trump would use the letter to manipulate him.
“You have to get that letter back,” Priebus told Sessions, according to people familiar with the conversation. Trump ultimately returned the missive with a short handwritten note about how he was not accepting it.

Here is an example in 1864 when President Lincoln was involved in a withdrawal of the Sec of Treasury resignation.
Is there someplace that documents formal acceptance of the resignation?

>Mr. CHASE wrote out his resignation, and Senator POMEROY had it in his pocket. But when the charges were brought forward, Mr. POMEROY urged that it would never do to tender it until the matter should be fully investigated, and accordingly it was not sent forward.
