Former Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) submitted his letters of resignation to the House and the state of New York, officially vacating his office at 5 p.m. ET today.
Kyle Anderson, communications director for the Committee on House Administration, confirmed to TPM that Massa’s resignation has taken effect, under the rules of procedure, though it will still have to be formally read before the House tomorrow. “Being laid before the House tomorrow is essentially the formal element, but the actual resignation is triggered by the letter to the state,” said Anderson.
