Providing for the expulsion of Representative George Santos from the United States House of Representatives.
HRES 878 is a resolution seeking to expel Representative George Santos from the U.S. House of Representatives. It is based on the House Committee on Ethics finding substantial evidence that Santos violated federal law and House rules, including falsifying campaign finance reports (like claiming a $500,000 loan that never existed), misusing campaign funds for personal expenses, and providing false financial disclosures. The resolution cites his obstruction of the ethics investigation and federal charges against him, including wire fraud and theft of unemployment benefits. If passed, it would remove him from Congress under the Constitution’s provision granting the House authority to expel members.
