When a politician you elected faces serious misconduct allegations, it can feel like there's no real accountability, but Congress actually has a powerful, albeit rarely used, disciplinary tool. You might be surprised to learn just how few members have ever been forcibly removed from their seats.
The topic of expelling a Congress member is trending because Representative Nancy Mace recently introduced a resolution to expel Representative Jasmine Crockett.
This resolution, citing 'disorderly behavior,' follows a heated exchange during a House Oversight Committee hearing.
