I know that after you leave office as POTUS it is some sort of unwritten rule that you withdraw from politics.
Why did Trump not withdraw?
Also why isn’t he a senator or congressman during Biden’s term?

He already sat in the highest seat. He’d never lower himself to anything below that. To my knowledge, no former-president has ever taken a lower seat in government. Many still find seats of power, but outside the government, I think.
John Quincy Adams, but he was a bit of a special case in all respects.

I thought of the limited series with Paul Giamatti on HBO when I hesitated on whether anyone had taken a lower office after being the pres. Not knowledgeable enough to say for sure when I posted. Insomnia now, so I’ll keep this in mind for when I’m learning more. Thanks!
Taft went to the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court isn’t exactly a lower seat.
