"Tennessee House Moves to Prohibit Reappointing Expelled Lawmakers Amid Controversy"

Tennessee House Republicans advance a bill to prevent reappointment of lawmakers expelled for behavior, following the high-profile expulsion of two Democratic state Reps. The proposal faces constitutional concerns and opposition from the expelled lawmakers, who argue it's government overreach. Republicans are also considering constitutional amendments to ban expelled lawmakers from returning to office, while installing new rules limiting debate and restricting members deemed "out of order" from speaking.
