Bill > H4565

This resolution formally censures Representative John Richard C. King for making public statements that violated Rule 3.6 of the House of Representatives' Rules, which governs decorum and prohibits disrespect and personal attacks. The resolution cites Section 12 of Article III of the South Carolina Constitution of 1895, which grants each house the authority to punish its members for disorderly behavior. The preamble explains that Representative King's statements were considered egregious personal attacks, likely to incite violence against fellow lawmakers and the public, especially given the current political climate, and that his conduct was unbecoming of a representative, bringing dishonor to himself, the state, and its citizens.
