Bill > HRes1166

This resolution provides for the expulsion of Representative Eric Swalwell from the United States House of Representatives, citing allegations of a sexual relationship with a former congressional staffer, including an instance where the staffer was allegedly too intoxicated to consent. The resolution notes that these allegations are under investigation and that Representative Swalwell's own statements acknowledged "mistakes in judgment," which led him to suspend his campaign for Governor of California. It further states that such conduct violates House rules requiring members to behave in a manner that reflects creditably on the House and that his continued service brings discredit upon the institution, deeming him unfit to serve. The House of Representatives, as per the Constitution, has the authority to police the behavior of its members and is taking this action as a consequence of these alleged violations.
