Gridlock and Dysfunction Prompt Spike in House Resignations
- Despite congressional gridlock, 6 House members have already resigned this term without other jobs lined up, more than typical
- Resignations driven by frustration over internal GOP chaos, unproductive infighting, and petty dysfunction
- More members may resign as they get fed up with the loss of House potential and growing insanity
- Some leave for better paying, more flexible private sector jobs rather than finish their House terms
- Senators much more satisfied than House members - only 1 resigned midterm in past decade without health reasons
