I'm quite sure he's the councillor though, as i remember a scene where he makes a faux-pas with the elcor diplomat (something about rolling the irritating volus ambassador down a hill) and he delegates the fallout to Udina as he is involved with Kahlee's struggle as of the moment. He could hold more than one position at once, being both Admiral and Councillor at the same time, but simply prefer to be reffered to as "Admiral". Even if he is not councillor, he still is in some position of political authority, as otherwise he wouldn't be in poesession of an office in the Presidium, a secretary, and have meetings about inter-species trade with ambassadors who are hilariously irritating. then again, I could be completely and utterly incorrect and end up "eating crow." However, you are correct on account of my false quote. The combination of sleep deprivation from exams and the fact that i haven't read the thing since it came out is probably why i though of that line, although he DOES quit near the end. Now I'm just going to have to flip through the book until i can find the moment where he resigns.
