"George Santos' Expulsion from Congress: A Reminder of Consequences for Wrongdoings"

The House of Representatives voted to expel Republican Rep. George Santos of New York following a scathing ethics report on his conduct, making him the sixth member in the chamber's history to be ousted by colleagues and the third since the Civil War. Santos had faced allegations of lying about his background and was indicted on multiple charges. Despite his appeal to let the court process play out, he was expelled by a vote of 311-114. Santos' expulsion narrows the GOP's majority to 221-213, and a special election will be called to fill the vacant seat.
