"Expulsion Vote Looms: Examining Congress' History of Ousting Members"

The House is set to vote on a resolution to expel Republican Rep. George Santos of New York, who is facing federal charges for alleged theft, campaign finance violations, and fraud. If two-thirds of lawmakers agree to expel him, Santos would become the sixth member in U.S. history to be ousted from Congress. The previous five members were expelled for disloyalty to the Union during the Civil War or for criminal convictions. Santos has survived two previous expulsion attempts but expects to be removed this time. Expulsion would result in immediate removal from the House, but Santos would not be barred from running for Congress again.
