<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-santos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Santos</a> (R-NY) moved on Thursday to force a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> vote to expel Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY) for pulling a fire alarm in a congressional office building as Santos himself faces an expulsion vote this week.</p>
<p>Santos filed his resolution as &#8220;privileged,&#8221; compelling the chamber to act within two legislative days, though Santos may <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4313613-growing-number-of-lawmakers-say-theyll-vote-to-expel-santos-after-ethics-report/#:~:text=House-,Growing%20number%20of%20lawmakers%20say%20they'll%20vote,expel%20Santos%20after%20Ethics%20report&amp;text=A%20growing%20number%20of%20lawmakers,scathing%20House%20Ethics%20Committee%20report.">already be removed</a> from the House by that deadline and there does not appear to be a sufficient number of members willing to remove Bowman from office.</p>
<p>During his <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?532119-2/house-session&amp;live" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks</a> on the House floor, Santos placed emphasis on the fact that Bowman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democratic-congressman-pleads-guilty-to-pulling-capitol-fire-alarm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took a plea deal</a> on a misdemeanor count of falsely pulling a fire alarm that resulted in a temporary evacuation of the Cannon House Office Building in late September ahead of a government spending vote.</p>
<p>By contrast, Santos has not been convicted of any crimes, but he does face 23 federal charges —  including aggravated identity theft, wire fraud, and conspiracy — to which the congressman has <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/27/politics/george-santos-plea/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pleaded not guilty</a>. In a press conference earlier in the day, Santos warned that removing members from office on &#8220;mere allegations&#8221; will &#8220;haunt&#8221; many other elected officials.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rep. George Santos (R-NY) says he’s going to introduce a privileged resolution today to expel Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) for pulling a Capitol fire alarm.</p>

<p>This week, Democrats and Republicans brought forward &#8220;privileged&#8221; resolutions to expel Santos after the release of a House Ethics Committee <a href="https://punchbowl.news/isc-santos-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> that laid out &#8220;substantial evidence&#8221; of multiple types of violations of House rules and criminal laws. The GOP-led House is expected to <a href="https://twitter.com/ABCNewsLive/status/1729945364130623881" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vote</a> on expelling Santos as early as Friday after <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1729912257264439343" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debate</a> on Thursday.</p>
<p>While Santos criticized the ethics inquiry as a political &#8220;smear,&#8221; the congressman announced after the report&#8217;s release that he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/george-santos-says-he-wont-seek-re-election-after-release-of-ethics-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">would not seek re-election</a>. In remarks on Tuesday, <a href="https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1729670939648950595" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Santos declared</a> that he would not resign and said a vote to expel him &#8220;sets a very dangerous precedent&#8221; when it comes to due process.</p>

<p>Expulsion from the House requires a two-thirds majority vote to succeed. It has only happened <a href="https://history.house.gov/Institution/Discipline/Expulsion-Censure-Reprimand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a handful of times throughout U.S. history</a>. Two expelled members were convicted of crimes, while three others were kicked out in 1861 for backing the Confederacy.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-has-reservations-about-expelling-santos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bumping Santos</a> from the House would mean Republicans, who have a narrow majority in the chamber, would need to brace for the <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/11/28/george-santos-replacement-special-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">possibility of a Democrat</a> winning a special election to replace Santos in his Long Island district.</p>
<p>Unlike with Santos, the House Ethics Committee <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-ethics-declines-probe-into-bowman-over-false-fire-alarm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declined</a> to open an investigation into Bowman. Bowman released a <a href="https://twitter.com/kadiagoba/status/1730227049711767578" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on Thursday saying, &#8220;No one in Congress, or anywhere in America, takes soon-to-be former Congressman George Santos seriously. This is just another meaningless stunt in his long history of cons, antics, and outright fraud.&#8221;</p>
