David Cameron Steps Down from British Parliament
------------------------------------------------

In international news, former British Prime Minister David Cameron has
stepped down from Parliament. This comes after Cameron resigned as prime
minister in July, less than a month after Britain shocked the world by
voting to leave the European Union-a move he'd strongly opposed. Cameron
had initially said he wouldn't resign as prime minister until October
and that he would continue to serve as a Parliament member. But on
Monday, Cameron stepped down from Parliament, saying he didn't want to
be a distraction for the new prime minister, Theresa May.
