Frank Underwood is a man who never gives a single millimetre, nevermind an inch. He's an unstoppable force AND an immovable object. He's taken on all-comers and still managed to cling on to power, which is the only thing he craves.

At the end of episode 12, Frank Underwood resigns.

Although it'd been building to something big regarding Frank, it's still a shock to see him actually go through with it. He snaps during his questioning by Congressman Romero, declaring that he won't be a part of the circus any longer, and delivers a major mic-drop with his resignation.
