Comment (by ryanmc):

 Well, partially that is true, As you can see from my images their isn't a
 schedule status in my list. So how would I go from schedule to draft? I
 assume I would have to click the schedule button to actually schedule the
 post, then change it back to draft. That seems like more steps than
 necessary. Since I never scheduled the post, I never clicked the schedule
 button, I should have an option to just remove the date.

 I tested this, and I end up in this situation by setting a date and
 clicking the "OK" button. This seems to be a middle ground with no easy
 way out. Either I have to click the "schedule" button and switch back to
 draft, or set the date way in the future and hope for the best.

 In the end I just want the "Publish" button to come back so I can publish
 immediately.

 Thanks for your patience while I hashed this out.
