   Conservative firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) took to Twitter to troll   
   President Joe Biden, calling on him to step down in the wake of several   
   world leaders resigning from office earlier this week.   
      
   “So many world leaders resigning this week yet Biden can’t take the hint?”   
   Boebert said in a tweet.   
      
   The comments come as a handful of world leaders in other countries   
   resigned from office earlier this week amid protests, economic strains,   
   and personal scandals.   
      
   SRI LANKA SWEARS IN NEW ACTING PRESIDENT AMID INTERNAL UPHEAVAL   
      
   Former Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa resigned from office on   
   Thursday, bending to pressure from months of protests that have nearly   
   dismantled the country’s government. His resignation came one day after he   
   fled the country amid demonstrations outside his office earlier in the   
   week, prompting the country’s prime minister to declare a nationwide state   
   of emergency.   
      
   Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was sworn in as the   
   nation's acting president the next day and will serve in that position   
   until Sri Lanka's Parliament appoints a successor to carry out the   
   remainder of Rajapaksa's term that ends in 2024. After that,   
   Wickremesinghe signaled he would also resign from his position as prime   
   minister, but he has not offered a timeline for when he would do so.   
      
   Elsewhere, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi offered to resign Thursday,   
   noting he did not want to run a government that did not have the support   
   of Italy's 5-Star Movement, which became the country's biggest party in   
   Parliament in 2018 before breaking apart earlier this year. Draghi later   
   met with President Sergio Mattarella, who rejected the resignation and   
   encouraged Draghi to reconsider.   
      
   British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also announced on July 7 that he   
   would be resigning from his position amid a flurry of scandals that caused   
   him to lose the trust of his advisers. However, he will remain in power   
   until a new leader is selected, which is expected to happen by September.
