    House Republicans’ already-slim majority will dwindle
    even further later this month when Rep. Bill Johnson
    (R-Ohio) resigns earlier than expected.

    Johnson’s office on Tuesday confirmed the
    congressman’s new official resignation date of Jan.
    21, after he was expected to resign to take a job
    as president of Youngstown State University before
    mid-March.

    The resignation will leave the House with 219
    Republicans, 213 Democrats, and three vacancies —
    meaning Republicans will be able to afford to lose
    only two votes on any party-line measure, assuming
    full attendance.
