resigns
Leaves the position
Resigns means to give up a position or office voluntarily: She resigned from the board after ten years.
The word often implies acceptance of something unpleasant—to resign yourself to a situation is to stop fighting it: He resigned himself to a long wait.
In chess, to resign is to concede defeat before checkmate.
