Best Answer

Mr Obama, who was then a state senator, decided to let his law license expire, because he was going to focus on politics exclusively and he knew he was no longer going to practice law. Since he left the legal profession in good standing, he can renew his license and return to being an attorney if he ever decides to do so.

Your question assumes a falsehood. President Obama holds a law degree from Harvard University. His law degree remains valid. His law license became inactive in 2007 because he entered politics and no longer practices as an attorney. If he decides to practice law again after his term as President, he will be able to reactivate his law license.

By the way your answer is untrue. His law license because inactive in 2002. He was also a US senator before becoming president.

Was Obama's law degree inactivated in 2002?

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).


Do the Obamas have law licenses?

They currently do not have active licenses. Both Michelle and Barack Obama were attorneys, but when Barack decided to pursue a career in politics, he allowed his law license to lapse, since he was no longer going to be practicing law. The same happened with Michelle, who decided to focus on her work as First Lady. 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.
