Santos is facing 13 felonies for alleged fraud and embezzlement.

Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-New York), along with other New York Republicans, have put forward a resolution to expel Santos from Congress to “rid the People’s House of fraudster George Santos.”

For a member of Congress to be expelled, a two-thirds majority vote in the chamber is needed, which has happened twice since the Civil War.
