The Chicago Tribune/Los Angeles Times report that William Daley has resigned as White House Chief of Staff after serving in office about one year. President Obama is expected to announce current Budget Director Jacob "Jack" Lew to replace Daley.

Daley followed Rahm Emanual, now Mayor of Chicago, in the position. He served as commerce secretary under President Bill Clinton and ran Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign. He's the brother of recently retired Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and the youngest son of legendary Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley.
