Currently, the /quote page checks the Sunlight API to determine whether someone is currently in office or not. If they're not currently in office, they're playfully listed as 'SHUT DOWN' - which isn't necessarily the case and doesn't take into account their reasons for leaving office.

Changing it to 'Not in office' would be better, as well as finding a source of what they're up to now, as many golden parachute into media or lobbying positions after holding office.
