Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., announced his official resignation from Congress on Friday, a move that was expected but one that could, at least for now, shrink Republicans’ already narrow majority in the House.

With his resignation, Republicans are down to a 219-212 majority in the House, at least until his seat in the solidly red district is filled.

His resignation will be effective July 20, Fox News reports from a letter Green sent to House Republican leadership.

    Even if the House went back to Democratic control, I could still see plenty of Democrats fucking it all up as far as opposing anything from Taco and his crazy administration.

      Or a bunch more randomly dying of old age because they refuse to retire. There’s 3 open seats on the Dem side because of this.
