GOP Congressman Introduces Resolution To Expel Nancy Pelosi(D) From House

Punch back twice as hard. The congressman's name is Rep. Ralph Abraham(R LA-5).
“House Democrats spent nearly three years obsessed with election meddling only to dwarf any such efforts with their own deceitful plan to nullify the 2016 election and prevent President Trump from winning in 2020. I have introduced a resolution calling for her to be expelled from the House and for the Speaker’s Office to be vacated.”
Under the U.S. Constitution, representatives cannot be impeached, however they can be expelled by a two-thirds majority vote in the House, or censured and removed from powerful positions - such as Speaker of the House - a position Pelosi currently holds.

Das Wiki has an extensive list of all representatives expelled or censured during the previous 230 years. The most recent expulsion was in 2006. Or rather an almost-expulsion. When threatened with expulsion, Rep. Bob Ney(R-OH) resigned rather than face a vote to expel.

The a vote to expel Pelosi will not even reach the floor as this tweet correctly concludes:


"Now he needs to hold a vote in a secret location and exclude the Democrats from the proceedings. If those are the new Rules we need to start playing by them too."

Heh.
