Not exactly. When Mr. Obama decided to focus on a career in politics, he soon realized he would no longer have time to practice law. So he voluntarily allowed his law license to expire. Since he left the legal field in good standing, all he has to do, if he wants to be a lawyer again, is renew his license (and take any courses needed to update his skills).

But since both of the Obamas were lawyers in good standing, they can renew their license any time they decide to return to practicing law.
