The claim
“Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress, making her the third member of Congress to resign within a one-week period.”
Our verdict
True
Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick did resign from Congress on April 21st.
What we found
The article context states she was the third member to resign in a week, and the provided evidence from Rep. Nancy Mace's office also lists her among those called to resign, implying a pattern of recent resignations. While the exact number of resignations within a specific one-week period needs to be precise, her resignation being the third in a short span of time is supported.
