The resolution rules clearly define what constitutes stepping down early, setting an explicit deadline of January 3, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. The criteria explicitly distinguish between an early departure and a standard retirement at the end of his term, noting that only formal announcements or actions to leave before the term ends will trigger a positive resolution. Resolution relies directly on official communications from McConnell, his office, or the U.S. Senate, leaving minimal room for subjective interpretation.
