The House is preparing for a new round of expulsion proceedings, with focus on Representatives Cherfilus-McCormick and Mills facing misconduct allegations. This follows recent cases where Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) resigned rather than face expulsion votes over sexual misconduct allegations involving staffers.

Key Points

  • Multiple House members face potential expulsion proceedings on both sides of the aisle
  • Recent precedent set by Swalwell and Gonzales resigning before expulsion votes
  • Sexual misconduct allegations involving staff members are at the center of the disputes
