In this episode, I discuss expulsion in the House. The authorities, the procedures, and two analytic questions: does the House do enough disciplining of Members? And why do Members resign in politics, even in cases where fighting would probably allow them to survive and beat an expulsion?

Some links to things that are discussed:

Swalwell's formal resignation

Gonzales's formal resignation

List of expelled Members, House and Senate

Josh Chafetz's Congress's Constitution

Trafficant's Ethics report and resolution
