Resignation of Claire Underwood

The resignation of Claire Underwood as the 47th president of the United States occurred on Thursday, January 18, 2018. Underwood announced her resignation a day earlier on January 17 during a press conference from the White House after the House Judiciary Committee advanced articles of impeachment against her to the U.S. House of Representatives for adoption. Underwood became the fourth American president to resign from office, the last being her husband Frank Underwood less than a year earlier in 2017.
U.S. Secretary of State Marcy Siegerson signed her initials on Underwood's resignation letter at 12:00 pm EST on January 18, officially ending her presidency. U.S. Vice President Mark Usher was subsequently inaugurated.
