Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., has announced his resignation from Congress following the passage of a major policy bill to advance President Donald Trump's domestic agenda. Green cited an exciting opportunity in the private sector as the reason for his decision to retire. He informed Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., that he would vacate his congressional seat after the House's next vote on the legislative package currently in the Senate. Green, who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, represents a safe Republican district in Tennessee and had previously announced his retirement plans during the previous session before reversing course.
