House To Vote Tonight On Resolution To Expel Santos

New York City’s ABC affiliate reports:

The House of Representatives has scheduled a Wednesday night vote on a GOP-led resolution to expel embattled Rep. George Santos. Fellow Republicans from New York drafted a resolution to remove Santos last week. Expelling Santos from Congress requires two-thirds of the House. This would be 289 of the House’s 433 current members if all are present. Santos said he would not beg for his constitutional rights and will let colleagues make their decision. According to the U.S. House Archive, only five lawmakers have ever been expelled. If this resolution passes, Santos would be the first expulsion since 2002 when House Democrat James Traficant was removed after he was convicted of 10 felony counts.
