The movement came a day after Santos, also a Republican, was charged with fraud and identity theft.

A group of House Republicans from New York are introducing a resolution to expel Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., from Congress.

“Today, I’ll be introducing an expulsion resolution to rid the People’s House of fraudster George Santos,” Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y., said in a post on the social media platform X.

He said the resolution will be co-sponsored by fellow New York House Republicans Nick LaLota, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, Nick Langworthy and Brandon Williams.

Booting Santos would require a two-thirds vote of the entire House.

The move comes a day after federal prosecutors issued Santos a 23-count superseding indictment alleging he committed identity theft, fraud and other offenses. Santos has said he plans on fighting the charges and pleaded not guilty to the charges in the original 13-count indictment earlier this year.

    It took a 23-count indictment to make it happen, however.

        You have to break 50 indictments to be considered presidential crownable

        FTFY

        Don’t think there’s a word for the appointment of a dictator.

          A “Coup” i guess.

      It wasn’t so much the 23 counts as it was the fact that he basically stole money from the Republican party. Theft of (Republican) money is the most heinous of crimes!
