Bill > HRes643

This resolution seeks to remove Representative Delia Ramirez from the House Committee on Homeland Security, citing her statement made at an event in Mexico City where she reportedly said "I am a proud Guatemalan before I am an American." The resolution references Rule XXIII of the House of Representatives, which requires Members to behave in a manner that reflects creditably on the House, and argues that her statement demonstrates conduct unbecoming of a representative. The resolution specifically resolves that Representative Ramirez shall be removed from the Committee on Homeland Security, effectively disqualifying her from serving on that particular standing committee. The action appears to be a disciplinary measure based on perceived lack of allegiance or commitment to the United States, as evidenced by her public statement about her national identity.
