These members of Congress will leave their jobs (mostly) voluntarily

Published



Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and President Donald Trump do not agree on much. In fact, they hate each other.

But Pelosi, 85, and Trump, 79, do share one professional characteristic. They each regained jobs at the pinnacles of government power after spells in the political wilderness. Trump is nearly a year into his second term, while Pelosi is wrapping up nearly 40 years in Congress, including stints as House speaker, second in line of presidential succession behind the vice president, from 2007 to 2011 and 2019 to 2023.
