Congress waited for Anthony Weiner to say he’s leaving — and now it’s waiting for him to clean out his desk.
Although the randy rep. announced Thursday that he was quitting after seven terms, he still has to submit a resignation letter to House Speaker John Boehner that says which day will be his last serving his Brooklyn-Queens constituents.
Even after that happens, his staff will stay on, and his offices — in the Capitol and New York — will be run by the House clerk, officials said.
“Our offices will be open and fully staffed on Monday,” Dave Arnold, who has served as Weiner’s congressional spokesman, said yesterday.
Weiner resigned after he admitted to having online liaisons with six women while married — sending them photos of his crotch and exchanging steamy messages over Facebook and e-mail.
Every day Weiner puts off his official departure date enlarges his congressional pension.
But so far no one has pushed for Weiner to clear out of the Capitol.
He and his wife, Huma Abedin, were at their Washington apartment yesterday.
His mentor, Sen. Charles Schumer, said “It’s been a sad day for Anthony, his family and friends, and now that he has stepped down, it’s time to move on.”
Meanwhile, the State Department would not say whether Huma will return to work today as a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
