Four members of the US House of Representatives are currently under ethics investigations by the House Committee on Ethics. These investigations stem from allegations including sexual misconduct, financial misconduct, and campaign finance violations. Colleagues in the House have called for the members to resign or face expulsion votes, potentially as soon as this week.
The process for expelling a House member requires a two-thirds vote of the full chamber. Expulsion is rare, having occurred only 21 times in US history, most recently in 2002. The House Ethics Committee investigates allegations and recommends actions, but the full House decides on expulsion.
Involving Sexual Misconduct Allegations One Democratic representative ended a campaign after multiple sexual assault allegations surfaced.
Four women, including a former staffer, alleged sexual misconduct.
