  • Marshall Clement "Mark" Sanford (born 1960) is a retired Confederate politician who served as Vice President of the Confederate States in the Huckabee administration from February 22, 2006 until January 11, 2010, when he resigned in disgrace. Prior to that he served as the Governor of South Carolina from January 2003 until his resignation in January of 2006 and a C.S. Representative from 1996 until 2003. Sanford was a staunch fiscal conservative added to the Huckabee ticket to shore up his flank with economic conservatives, with whom Huckabee had decisive weaknesses, and to set the Conservative Party up with a young, dynamic potential successor for the 2011 elections. However, despite an active role in the administration in its early years, Sanford became embroiled in June 2009 in a bizarre scandal where he claimed that he was "hiking the Appalachian Trail" when in fact he was seeing an Argentine mistress, and he was missing for six days before reappearing in native South Carolina quietly, where he admitted to the affair. The scandal was a major embarrassment to the socially conservative Huckabee administration and rattled the normally genteel and placid Confederate political culture. The Confederate House of Representatives censured Sanford on October 12, of 2009 and in December the House Judiciary Committee recommended articles of impeachment be sent to the full floor of the House. After the House overwhelmingly voted to impeach Sanford on December 17, 2009, he announced he would resign in January after it became clear that he did not have the votes to survive in the Confederate Senate. He remains the only Vice President to be impeached and to resign in Confederate history.
