Date MTG has chosen to quit is TWO DAYS after her generous congressional pension vests [View all]

Marjorie Taylor Greene's abrupt decision to resign from Congress is drawing scrutiny after it emerged that her chosen departure date falls just two days after her federal pension becomes fully vested.

The timing places the 51-year-old Georgia Republican past the five-year service threshold required for lawmakers to qualify for lifetime pension benefits under federal rules.

Greene announced Friday that she is leaving Congress and will step down on January 5, 2026.

She was elected in 2020 and began serving on January 3, 2021.

The detail has prompted criticism from Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who argued Greene's exit was scheduled to secure personal financial gain.

'She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office.' Ocasio-Cortez said.
