When they say he "resigned," does that mean he's out of a job, resigned, or does he still have some function and salary and office?

He still has a job, just not reconstruction minister

What a clown. Where do Japanese politicians come from? They all seem to have no common sense, and just the most bizarre things come out of their mouths all the time.

Speaking for Japan, Economics Minister Banri Kaieda pledged that his country “will take drastic measures to ensure the highest level of safety” for its reactor network.
