in general, you need more than an oral outburst for a real resignation, especially if the person keeps returning to do his job. I have several suggestions:
prepare a letter before the next meeting, perhaps just an "i quit" with his name, and a place for signature. When he says it again, jump up, and ask him to sign it before he leaves.
When he says it next time, immediately ask "Anyone second?" If you get a second, then call for an immediate vote to accept his oral resignation.
When he says it, look at him calmly and say Bull hockey pucks Johnny. You do this every meeting, and I, for one, am tired of it. Can you be a bit more original? Stomp your feet or something? Do a nixon impression? pound your shoe on the table? say it in time with a drinking song?
Or, if you are in texas, shoot him, and practice these lines: Your honor, i was in fear for my life and those around me, and I was defending my home and property. This man was a terrorist, and since I can't waterboard anymore, all i had left was shooting.
okay, maybe not that last one. Bottom line, there is little you can do without making a scene yourself, giving him more attention (which is what the little drama king wants), or embarrassing yourself or him. Unless you want to take him aside privately and talk to him about his disruptive behavior, there's not much else i can think of.
