Abraham Lincoln entered politics, and left the practice of law in 1846, when he was elected to the US Congress. Then in 1849, he leaves politics to practice law. He then in 1854, he re-enters politics but does not leave his law practice, when he's elected again to the Illinois legislature but declines the seat, hoping to run and be elected to the US Senate, for Illinois. In 1859, he loses the Senate election to Stephen Douglas, and the same year, Lincoln makes his last trip through the 8th Judicial Circuit, as an Attorney.
The following year, he is nominated as the Republican Candidate for President, and wins in November, 1860.
His last appearance as an attorney was in 1859, though it is likely he never let his license to practice law, lapse.
