Okay, here is the rewritten article following your instructions: Stella Green, December 5, 2025 Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Resignation Plan Draws Criticism Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., announced her intention to resign from Congress after Thanksgiving, but some Republican colleagues have criticized her decision to skip votes until early January. Greene, a long-time figure known for her sharp criticism of the party leadership and lately President Donald Trump as well, stated she would step down after the five-year mark following her election. While announcing this on November 21st, she cited deep dissatisfaction with Washington politics as her primary reason for leaving, set to depart just days before the January 5th date. However, some fellow members of Congress expressed frustration over her departure during an ongoing session. Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., who chairs the House Freedom Caucus and spoke to The Hill (as mentioned in the original text), voiced disappointment. “Someone who runs for office promising service should complete that term,” he stated. “That’s their choice now, but it’s a shame.” Other Republican lawmakers sharing similar sentiments were more direct. Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., known for his past disagreements with Greene particularly on Israel policy, declared himself relieved by her impending exit. He told The Hill (as mentioned in the original text), “I’m glad she’s leaving. Good riddke to bad rubbish. I just wish it would happen sooner.” Fine further criticized Greene, suggesting her actions were self-serving: “It is clear she never cared about the cause or the conservative movement; she was only focused on herself.” He specifically mentioned that by announcing resignation but delaying official departure, she was preventing a special election from being triggered to fill the seat. A GOP lawmaker speaking anonymously also commented, expressing concern over Greene’s lack of commitment. “It appears Marjorie is no longer interested in taking care of [her] responsibilities,” this member said. “That’s unfortunate.” Furthermore, Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., argued that elected officials should serve their full term unless for exceptional reasons like illness or personal crises. He told the outlet, “Members ought to finish the terms they were elected to serve.” Politics
