Republican congressman Green to resign after tax bill vote
Jun 9, 2025 3:37 PM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Republican U.S. House Representative Mark Green said on Monday that he will resign from Congress after the House votes again on President Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill.

"Recently, I was offered an opportunity in the private sector that was too exciting to pass up. As a result, today I notified the Speaker and the House of Representatives that I will resign from Congress as soon as the House votes once again on the reconciliation package," Green said in a statement.

Green's resignation will narrow Republicans' majority in the House to 219-212, allowing Speaker Mike Johnson to still be able to lose up to three votes on any legislation and pass it.
