Bad news: I think we're stuck with Boebert

According to Article I, Section 5, second paragraph of the US Constitution, it requires a two-thirds majority of the house of Congress the member is a part of, to expel a Member from Congress.

The only feasible way I can see to get rid of her is to make Congress so un-fun she quits on her own. Assign her to one boring committee and no others, refuse to take up her bills and don't let her bring her gun into the building.

1. Or she's arrested

9. No.

There are only two Representatives who've ever been kicked out of Congress for committing crimes, Michael Myers in 1980 and James Traficant in 2002. They both had to be expelled from Congress. Myers got 30 "no" votes and Traficant one.

Randy "Duke" Cunningham, arguably the biggest crook in Congress of the last fifty years, resigned on his own.

2. She could be arrested and sent to Gitmo.

[Under The Radar]

3. Liz Cheney will shut her up in due time.

6. Hope so, and

(WEIRD to say this!) I hope repugs allow Liz Ch to retain her position in leadership.

[Hekate]

7. That's a thought

[WVreaper]

4. Resign

or your mother goes to Gitmo.

5. She could be under arrest quite soon.

It is pretty clear she took insurrectionists on reconnaissance tours Jan 5, and there is a lot of speculation that her mom is “megaphone woman”, a person of interest in the assault.

8. Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment states that anyone involved in...

insurrection cannot remain serving in Congress. If that "megaphone lady" is her mother, she's gone.

11. +1

16. ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️😤

10. Or better, just get someone competent to run against her.

Same with that Marjorie Greene. Just get these people the fuck out of office as fast as possible!

[Progressive Jones]

12. She can be minimized, like the orig. poster stated. Can her District recall her? nt

[jmowreader]

13. I do not believe a federal official can be recalled

Unless she shoots herself while cleaning her gun, the only viable paths to removal are to expel her, vote her out (which means someone even more extreme will take her place) or convince her to resign by making her life miserable.

And while it's not necessarily part of this discussion, I think it's a good time to revive a classic:

[fearnobush]

14. All elected reps and senators sign a non insurrection oath created after the civil war.

If they break that oath they’re gone

15. Nancy said the law would have to do the job.

It should be done after trump. IMO.
