House Homeland Security Committee Chair Rep. Mark Green (R-TN, 7th District) announced Wednesday, He is Retiring from Congress, saying He wants to “go out with a win” after Impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas (D), after second try.
“I’ve accomplished what I wanted to do. I wanted to get a great border security bill done. We did that, and I wanted to hold the administration accountable and we just impeached for the first time a sitting Cabinet secretary,” Green told Reporters on the Capitols steps.
Mayorkas, who was Impeached with just One Vote to spare, is the First Cabinet Official Impeached since the 1870s. It is expected it will Fail in the Senate.
Green, who will leave at the End of the Session, is serving His First term as Chair, and His exit makes him the Fourth GOP Chair to announce their Retirement.
Green, 59, was first Elected to represent Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District in 2018. The District is rated “Solid Republican” by the Nonpartisan Election Handicapper the Cook Political Report.
The Tennessee Republican was mum about His plans, including whether He is considering a run for another Office, such as the 2026 Tennessee Gubernatorial Race, but He said He would Volunteer for Trump’s Campaign. “I’m gonna go help Donald Trump win the presidency,” He said.
As Chair, Green has prioritized Investigations of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Primarily focusing on Mayorkas.
But Three Republicans citing concerns, the GOP was Abusing Impeachment Power and Failing to meet the Constitutional Standards for the Process.
The Second Vote succeeded, only after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA, 1st District), returned to Washington after undergoing treatment for Blood Cancer.
