HRES 773 United States House · 118th Congress

Providing for the expulsion of Representative George Santos from the House of Representatives.

HRES 773 is a resolution to expel Representative George Santos from the U.S. House of Representatives due to criminal charges and misconduct. It cites his false claims about his background, federal indictments for wire fraud, money laundering, and stealing over $44,000 from campaign donors, as well as falsifying financial records. The resolution invokes Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution, which allows the House to expel members for "disorderly behavior" or misconduct. This action directly affects Santos, removing him from his seat and ending his service as the representative for New York’s 3rd Congressional District. The resolution does not alter any laws but addresses his eligibility to serve based on his legal violations.
