House Democrats Push for Expulsion of George Santos from Congress
TL;DR Summary
A House Democrat has introduced a symbolic resolution to expel Rep. George Santos from Congress following his not guilty plea to fraud charges. The resolution is expected to fail but will force House Republicans to go on the record regarding their colleague from New York. Any motion to expel requires a two-thirds vote. Santos has previously maintained his innocence and insisted he will remain in Congress. The last lawmaker expelled from the House was Rep. Jim Traficant, D-Ohio, in 2002.
