DescriptionWARRENTON, N.C. - Democratic U.S. Rep. Frank Ballance resigned from Congress on Tuesday, saying a neuromuscular disorder has affected his ability to carry out his duties.

Ballance, 62, was diagnosed in February with myasthenia gravis, a condition that results in muscle weakness.

In a statement released by his office, Ballance said he was resigning as North Carolina's 1st District representative in the U.S. House "because I am no longer able to carry out the responsibilities of this office due to my current health condition."
