Why should he work hard on another term, he will make a fat retirement check off the back of the American Taxpayer after doing nothing.

Great idea on term limits, but the “set for life” retirement package gets old for the suppliers of the funding.

He can’t wait to put a knife in Trump’s back. He knows that will ruin him politically, so he is just getting out in front of it.

Good riddance. He is a big time Bushie and was one of the coauthors of the recent rebuke of the President.

I believe a member of Congress can only collect a pension after serving a minimum of 5 years.
If hes leaving after two terms then hes doing the taxpayers a huge favor.

I seriously doubt he's telling the truth. In fact, I believe he is being told not to run if he knows what's good for him. I had just read a tweet by DocWashburn a couple of minutes before I wandered to this thread. IMO, he's dirty as hell and getting out while he still can.

US Rep. Francis Rooney on Fox repeating Dem talking points, ignoring context of Mulvaney quid pro quo comments. Rooney gave $2 million to Jeb's PAC in 2015, believes in "climate change", supports 3 day waiting period on gun purchases. Gee, I wonder why he wants Trump gone.

It sounds like he is not eligible for a pension after two terms for a total of 4 years.
Congressional pension is a pension made available to members of the United States Congress. Members who participated in the congressional pension system are vested after five (5) years of service. A full pension is available to Members 62 years of age with 5 years of service; 50 years or older with 20 years of service; or 25 years of service at any age. From Wikipedia

Thanks for the context. I didn’t know he was a never-Trumper. I would have known he was lying immediately.

Rooney gave Romney’s PAC $1M, plus hosted a fund raiser for him in his home.

He ran as a Republican, legislated as a RINO, and now will turn his back on the greatest president this country will ever
have. Goodbye traitor.

Once he said that he might vote for impeachment his career ended as a Republican...this is just him accepting that reality.
