In 1974, the powerful Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Wilbur Mills (D-AR) was caught with stripper Fanne Foxe (the "Tidal Basin Bombshell) when he was pulled over at 2:00am for a DUI. Mills represented Little Rock for 38 years.
Mills resigned, and Clinton buddy Jim Guy Tucker (then Arkansas Attorney General) succeeded Mills in Congress. Clinton took Tucker's seat as Attorney General. Clinton eventually became Governor, and when he became President Tucker left Congress and became Governor after Clinton.
