Yesterday, Congressman Robert Garcia (D-California) used a procedural maneuver to advance a resolution he introduced in February to expel Congressman George Santos from the House of Representatives. The House has until tomorrow to act on the measure. While it seems like an obvious action to take, the measure is not expected to pass. It would require a supermajority of two-thirds of the members to pass and Speaker Keven McCarthy has already proposed an alternative path that would involve turning the issue over to the House Ethics Committee for action. He told reporters yesterday evening that he would like the Ethics Committee to “take rapid action” on the question. But the Democrats are relishing this opportunity to keep Santos in the headlines and point to him as an “example of GOP corruption.” (Associated Press)Read More
