Hungarian President Pal Schmitt is resigning after losing his doctorate in a plagiarism scandal. He told the parliament\'s plenary session on Monday that he is stepping down because this \"personal issue\" is dividing Hungary, AP reports. Schmitt was elected to the largely ceremonial office in 2010. The president’s 1992 doctorate was revoked last week. The move followed an investigation at Budapest\'s Semmelweis University. It found that most of the thesis about the modern Olympic Games had been copied from the work of two other authors.
