In the history of this country a known imposter has never been seated in the U.S. House of Representatives—until now. Every day that goes by with Rep. George Santos occupying a seat there is a stain on the Republican party and an insult to the country.
As your constituent, I ask that you cosponsor the Resolution to expel George Santos (H.Res.114). I ask furthermore that you call upon Speaker McCarthy to stop hiding behind the ethics investigation which could take months or even years. Santos has already admitted to lying about his background and experience and he has now confessed to the crime of fraud. Speaker McCarthy should publicly withdraw his support from Santos, and immediately move the Resolution to Expel Santos to the House floor for a vote.
Santos’s continued presence in Congress weakens the integrity of our system government.
Several Republican Members of Congress have stated publicly that there’s nothing they can do about Santos. That isn’t true. Speaker McCarthy has the power to oust him—either by pressuring him to resign, (the quickest course of action), or by calling for a House vote of expulsion. The U.S. constitution provides Congress with the power to expel members for any reason, with no prerequisites. The only requirement is that 2/3 of the Members of the House vote to expel.
Every member of Congress must refuse to accept Santos’s presence in their ranks. Please make a public statement demanding that he resign and ask Speaker McCarthy to immediately withdraw his support from him and seek his ouster. Thanks.
