Expulsion is the most serious form of disciplinary action that can be taken against a Member of Congress. The United States Constitution (Article I, Section 5, Clause 2) provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member."  quote: Wikipedia

THE NEXT CONGRESS NEEDS TO FOCUS ON THE EXPULSION of its corrupt members... and to refer criminal conduct for PROSECUTION.  NO MORE HEARINGS... TRIALS FOR EXPULSION NEED TO BE THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE ... The Senate may not have the votes to Expel bad US Senators, based on the raw number of GOP seats available to convict and expel US Senators are not there. Expulsions in the Senate may have to wait until the 2024 Election cycle.

Congressional oversight Hearings are staged circuses... Congress has sufficient evidence of criminal activity in the Congressional Record to refer members for criminal indictment and expulsion... There are mountains of hard, credible, evidence pointing to crimes by sitting and former members of Congress in the Congressional record. Adding more evidence of members' crimes or rehashing old evidence holds no one accountable... expulsion and indictments are warranted.

Why has EXPULSION not been used to remove bad apples from Congress... Voting is not the only Constitutional means to remove corrupt members of Congress.  Expulsion is a Constitutional process that is solely in the hands of Congress... It is not subject to judicial or executive review or action. Why has EXPULSION not been used to REMOVE the bad apples from Congress?  Perhaps the bad apples are running Congress? 

It doesn't take IMPEACHMENT or criminal indictment to EXPEL a member of Congress... bad conduct is enough.  However, the leadership must initiate hearings to EXPEL a sitting member of either House of Congress.  EXPULSION HEARINGS NEED TO BE THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS in the next Congress.

The legislation Rep Scalise and McCarthy are proposing for the next congress will never become law... The President will VETO any GOP Bill he doesn't approve, and the votes needed in the US SENATE to override his VETO are not there.  Scalise and McCarthy know this and choose to obfuscate and misdirect the actions needed to reform Congress.  It is disengenuous to suggest such bills will be possible. There are more effective actions that can be taken by the next congress... cleaning Congress's house, and taking the TRASH OUT using the expulsion process would be a much better use of Congress's time. 

Expulsion and replacement of the bad apples in the US Senate could add the votes needed in the US Senate to pass reform legislation over the President's Veto. EXPEL 3 corrupt Democrat Senators and replace them with 3 conservatives and voila the vote in the US Senate to override a Presidential veto is suddenly possible.  Why not conduct EXPULSION HEARINGS instead of oversight hearings that go nowhere?

McCarthy and McConnell need to focus on expelling the corrupt members of Congress and removing (IMPEACHING) SES civil service appointees (The Administrative State). Do what works and stop focusing the public and Congress's attention on hearings that do nothing but infuriate the public.

  • The problem with expulsion is that, after we get rid of bad apples, who's left? McConnell has placed , in positions of leadership , a bunch of Establishment 'me too' idiots...and I'm sure the same was done by Ryan in the House, so  McCarthy has a bunch of me too, too.

     

    • Exactly... it is never wrong to help others find Jesus... allowing the criminals to operate with impunity only encourages more crime...

    • McConnell should be one of the first to be expelled... however, he is also the Senate Majority leader... in charge of the agenda and committee assignments.

  • That would mean that Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, and Cortes could be expelled in from the House in early 2023 for good cause.  If Cruz is endorsing impeachment of Biden and Harris in 2023. why not invoke the Clause to get rid of the other traitorous House vermin?  Call for the exterminator! It's a matter of purpose that these socialist/communists be expelled!

    • Well said Norton... well said.

    • Exactly... However, I suspect that the GOP leadership is reluctant to use EXPULSION as they fear being EXPELLED... and with good reason.

      There are so many members of Congress with huge character flaws that EXPULSION is a very fearful power... So powerful that the current members of Congress would rather see it forgotten than used.

    • Learn how to use grammar, put sentences together, and to spell before you try to express yourself! 

    • Pardon my grammar but, I don't read a lot of comments and have not read any of yours until now. I feel impelled to suggest that you stop nit-picking.. I  might also suggest the "M.A." after your name looks ridiculous. 

    • Language is an art whose palette is wet with many colors and styles… the expression of the author's voice… There is the classist whose mirror image of reality is awe-inspiring perfection or the cubist with his confrontational tongue that challenges every aspect of grammar.  Language like art is to express the thought of its progenitor…. In the colors of the artist’s mind… oft with tones of adversity and unfettered want to splash words upon the ears of the unwashed.

      Whatever means the author chooses it is the reader whose final view of his work that is the measure of its success… in its value for communicating the ideas and images in the mind of the artist… to those targeted by his pen.  Like the brush strokes of the conventional artist, the writer weaves a message not always so obvious as to bear the marks of the classist… he may find expression in a Catch-22 dialogue, littered with the harsh grammar of the palette knife.

      Whatever, the writer's means of communicating… the measure of his effectiveness is found in the mind's eye… in the grasp of the writer's hieroglyphics by the mind of his targeted audience.  He with an ear to hear will hear and he with an eye to see can find… vistas of beauty or oceans of chaos... all in the same words.  Communication is more an art than the dictatorial regime of the lawgiver.

    • Perhaps you should police your own grammar before chastising anothers. OK?
