Summary
The House of Representatives has seen a series of resignations and expulsion threats in recent weeks, with former Reps. Tony Gonzales, Eric Swalwell, and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick stepping down amid allegations of misconduct. Cherfilus-McCormick resigned just before the House Ethics Committee was set to recommend her expulsion. The committee’s actions have raised questions about the precedent set by the House’s decision to expel former Rep. George Santos before his criminal trial. Some lawmakers are calling for changes to the House ethics process, while others are focusing on new targets, including Rep. Ilhan Omar.
