DescriptionRep. Rahm Emanuel , D-Ill., who will serve as White House chief of staff under President-elect Barack Obama , will resign from the House effective Jan. 2.

Emanuel on Monday announced his resignation date in a letter to embattled Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich , who faces impeachment proceedings as a result of federal corruption charges in a “pay-to-play” scandal.

He informed his 5th District constituents in an automated call that promised “in the interim, both the Washington, D.C., and Chicago offices will be open and staff will be available to assist you with any casework issues.”
