Counter idea, its to actually keep Republicans from resigning.

Current make up of house is 219-213. With 3 open seats. Lets guess dems take 2 of those, which they had before vacated. So now its 220-215.

With Greene retiring it goes 219-215 meaning you can lose 2 votes on any legislation. Tie votes mean question is lost.

If a slate of reps may retire at 4 retirees you see a power sharing agreement, and 5 hands the gavel to the dems. No one wants to be the last one out to give over the gavel. And if you read reports that a bunch of people might retire you might put yours on hold so it doesnt mess anything up.

Effectively this is telling republicans, we know you think getting out is good but a lot of you are talking about it and if you do we lose the house.

It gets even uglier if dems take all 3 open seats.
