Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, R-N.Y., suggested Monday that there are enough votes to expel Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., from the House, as Santos is surrounded by controversy amid his legal battles.
D'Esposito told NewsNation's The Hill that "I think there is an opportunity for it to pass, because I think we have an opportunity to set a new precedent."
The measure was called to the floor last week as a privileged resolution, which forces leadership to act on the legislation within two legislative days. The House went into recess on Thursday afternoon and is scheduled to return Wednesday. Leadership can either motion to table the resolution or refer it to a committee, both of which require majority support. Should the legislation come to the floor, it would require the support of two-thirds of the House.
" made it very clear — he said, 'Do what you think is right and do what you think is right for New York. And like I said, this is not about precedent — it's about setting a new precedent. If we could set a new precedent — especially from individuals in the House who have tried to fight the status quo — that the House does not welcome liars, fraudsters and people who have made a mockery of the institution," D'Esposito said.
