"House Vote Imminent: Expulsion of Rep. George Santos Hangs in the Balance"

The House of Representatives is set to vote on whether to expel Representative George Santos, who is facing federal criminal charges related to fraudulent financial schemes. The resolution to expel Santos, introduced by Representative Anthony D'Esposito of New York, faces a high hurdle as it requires approval from two-thirds of the House lawmakers voting. Republicans hold a narrow majority, and Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed his opposition to removing Santos without due process. If the measure were to succeed, Santos would become the first representative since the Civil War to be removed from office without a criminal conviction.
