Bill > HRes1172

This resolution provides for the expulsion of Representative Tony Gonzales from the United States House of Representatives. The resolution outlines that Members of the House are expected to uphold high ethical standards and that failing to do so, particularly through sexual relationships with or unwelcome sexual advances towards House employees under their supervision, brings discredit to the House and undermines public trust. It cites specific instances where Representative Gonzales allegedly engaged in such conduct, including admitting to a sexual relationship with a staffer and sending sexually explicit text messages to employees, which are violations of the House's Code of Official Conduct. The resolution asserts that this pattern of behavior demonstrates Representative Gonzales is unfit to serve and therefore, pursuant to the Constitution, he is expelled from the House of Representatives.
