Newt Gingrich
Newton Leroy Gingrich, Ph.D. (born June 17, 1943), served as the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999. As a co-author of the 1994 Contract with America, Gingrich was in the forefront of the Republican Party's dramatic success in the 1994 Congressional elections and subsequently was elected Speaker. In 1997 Special Counsel James M. Cole concluded that Gingrich violated federal tax law and had lied to the ethics panel in an effort to force the committee to dismiss the complaint against him. Shortly after the 1998 elections, where Republicans lost 5 seats in the House, Gingrich announced his resignation as Speaker. (More at Wikipedia)
