ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is back on the road as he argues that he should serve out the remaining 16 months in his final term.

The governor will be speaking at the Orangeburg Kiwanis Club on Monday afternoon. Sanford admitted in June he had an affair with an Argentine woman.

It's his first public appearance since the House Republican Caucus met Saturday in Myrtle Beach with fuming GOP legislators saying the governor needs to go through resignation or impeachment.

The caucus took no action but legislators at a minimum expect to draft a letter calling on the governor to step down.

The State Ethics Commission is reviewing Sanford's practices involving state and private aircraft after investigations by The Associated Press.
