WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, announced his intention to resign from Congress, with his departure set to take effect immediately after the House votes on the pending reconciliation package.
Green’s announcement came as lawmakers prepare for a critical vote on major legislative initiatives.
Serving as chair of the Homeland Security Committee, Green played a central role in shaping national security legislation.
His leadership was marked by involvement in policy matters related to border security, cybersecurity, and emergency response coordination. His departure leaves a key vacancy as the committee continues to address ongoing security concerns.
The House is expected to vote soon on the reconciliation package, which has generated intense debate among members.
Green’s resignation, timed around this legislative milestone, adds to the political uncertainty surrounding the vote and the future direction of House priorities.
The House is now expected to begin the process of selecting a new chairman for the Homeland Security Committee.
