House GOP Resolution to Censure Rep. Bowman Sparks Controversy
TL;DR
The House has advanced a Republican resolution to censure Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman for pulling a fire alarm, with a final vote scheduled for Thursday. Bowman admitted to pulling the fire alarm before a vote on a spending measure in September. If censured, Bowman would be publicly reprimanded in the House. Censuring House members is rare but has been used as a political tool recently. Only four House members have been censured in the 21st century, and 26 members in total have been censured in U.S. history.
