Yes, but they have to have proof, not anonymous sources, that won't be good enough JohnSJ Oct 2021 #4

While I completely agree they should, we barely got the votes to enforce a subpoena on Bannon berni_mccoy Oct 2021 #7

It wasn't barely. Several republicans voted against Bannon. brush Oct 2021 #14

To expel a member you need 2/3rd majority. berni_mccoy Oct 2021 #48

That's not what my response was to. Several repugs... brush Oct 2021 #50

Several. Would that be a handful? Right. Barely. berni_mccoy Oct 2021 #53

Come on. Nine votes with the Dems is not barely. Two or three is barely. brush Oct 2021 #54

it's 4 percent of the Repulblican House Caucus qazplm135 Oct 2021 #80

Nine is hardly barely when it's usually none. It passed easily. brush Oct 2021 #99

No. You're the johnny come lately to this. See post 7 brush Oct 2021 #101

This Is Not Something That Should Go To A Vote Of The Whole House..... global1 Oct 2021 #17

My hope is that the DOJ prosecutes them and then the House will be forced to expel them berni_mccoy Oct 2021 #49

Why would the house be forced to expel them? Alpeduez21 Oct 2021 #55

I should have used the word pressure berni_mccoy Oct 2021 #57

I agree. TomSlick Oct 2021 #72

Where did you get the 2/3 majority thing? That's not in the Constitution. lagomorph777 Oct 2021 #86

Article 1, Section 2, Clause 2. TomSlick Oct 2021 #130

I believe you are absolutely correct! Evolve Dammit Oct 2021 #65

Only a majority is needed, and after we expel a few, our majority widens. lagomorph777 Oct 2021 #84

The Constitution says 2/3 majority is required to expel. berni_mccoy Oct 2021 #90

No it doesn't! lagomorph777 Oct 2021 #92

Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2 berni_mccoy Oct 2021 #93

This is not (mere) disorderly behavior. It's disqualification for insurrection. lagomorph777 Oct 2021 #96

And when she has 1/3 of House Republicans to vote with the Democrats, I'll be impressed. brooklynite Oct 2021 #16

Is that the standard? maxsolomon Oct 2021 #25

Yes: and you'll need roughly 1/3 of the Republicans to join the Democrats to get to 2/3. brooklynite Oct 2021 #42

Well, shit. It's not happening, and AOC knows it. maxsolomon Oct 2021 #62

The way your previous post reads I think you may be right. hadEnuf Oct 2021 #67

So she shouldn't be calling for it? Cuthbert Allgood Oct 2021 #123

I don't know any more. maxsolomon Oct 2021 #126

Somehow, I am reading this differently. colorado_ufo Oct 2021 #66

You are wrong... brooklynite Oct 2021 #73

Not sure of your point Bob_in_VA Oct 2021 #77

There is no Federal restriction on voting... brooklynite Oct 2021 #78

2/3 needed to let them serve; not to boot them out. lagomorph777 Oct 2021 #91

+1000 That is, indeed what the words say; some here like to get creative though lagomorph777 Oct 2021 #89

Where are you getting that? That's not what it says at all. lagomorph777 Oct 2021 #88

I'll rely on Speaker Pelosi's judgement. brooklynite Oct 2021 #117

I suspect most of the country will be disappointed in the outcome. lagomorph777 Oct 2021 #118

In THAT regard, I suspect the average voter doesn't care... brooklynite Oct 2021 #125

No problem. In a few years, there will be no voters. lagomorph777 Oct 2021 #127

If true, so what? Hold the vote anyway ecstatic Oct 2021 #116

Following your logic, any politicians who argued for women's suffrage or for Celerity Oct 2021 #121
