House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) won’t run for reelection this year, making him the latest House Republican to retire from Congress as the GOP seeks to hold on to its slim majority next year.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, Green said the decision came after tough deliberation but after the three-term incumbent ultimately decided he had accomplished the goals he originally campaigned on.

“It’s pretty clear that the founders, the framers of the Constitution at least, intended the people’s representatives to serve for a season and then go home,” Green said. “We’re not intended to be here to grow old in Congress. So, there’s that constitutional piece that really kind of honestly probably is what pushed me over the edge.”

Green’s retirement comes on the heels of the historic vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, led by the Homeland Security Committee, on which Green serves as the chairman.
