or to be risked getting expelled.

And there's only been six members in congressional history who have ever been asked to leave.

Hormuz Cut Off & Scandals Rock Congress | 4.14.26

That's correct.

Morning Wire

So two-thirds of the House of Representatives would need to vote to expel a member.

Morning Wire

This has only ever happened six times before in history.

However, not everyone is fully convinced that expulsion is the best route.

Morning Wire
Hormuz Cut Off & Scandals Rock Congress | 4.14.26

Mike Johnson has pointed out in the past before that past expulsions have been members of the Confederacy and people who were convicted fraudsters or other crimes.

And that's something that the president wants to see to his desk by June.

Morning Wire

Republicans certainly have some non-starters in terms of the demands Democrats have made when it comes to ICE.

That is a foreign government surveillance bill that is very hotly debated, especially by people who might be concerned about how this implicates the privacy of American citizens as well as advocates who want to see perhaps more warrants in this process.
