Several members of Congress, including U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, say that they can’t remove George Santos from Congress, that they can’t just kick him out.
Recently, I have heard several members of Congress, including our own U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, say that they can’t remove George Santos from Congress, that they can’t just kick him out.It’s right there in the Constitution. Article 1, Section 5 of the Constitution says, “Each House may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.
Will the House GOP take this action? Probably not, because they care more about power and obstruction than honesty and character. They have even put him on a couple of committees. Furthermore, one of the first acts of the new GOP House majority was to approve a rules package that includes weakening the Office of Congressional Ethics.
This is a test for the GOP leadership, but it’s also a test for voters in coming elections: Do we still value honesty and integrity, or do we give those up as easily as we have given up our privacy?If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
