For expelling a Senator they would need a conviction and not just an indictment? I remember the last Congressman to be removed was Dan Rostankowski (sic) (from Ohio).
Would the Democrats consider kicking Menedez out of their caucus, or just unofficially kick him out?
I know I'm in the minority on the dress code, but I see it as a hidden expense for a Senator. Someone larger/taller like Fetterman has a higher cost to comply. Men's' business wear has less acceptable options than women's. Whole I doubt anyone would try it, I'd enjoy seeing a man show up in a dress to point out the hypocrisy. That's not how it would be received of course.
So many questions today, but I’ll limit myself to just one.
I do not understand the reason for stripping out aid for Ukraine from the Pentagon spending bill and putting it into a separate bill. If the vote against stripping it out was 330-104 against, then can we assume the new and separate bill will pass the House? So what is achieved by doing this?
Why do we talk so much about the dress code when there are much more important things going on? I think because it's NOT as important. Having said that, "business attire" is still a hugely broad category.
Do you have an estimate for how long the shutdown may last? It's looking like McCarthy has neither the votes nor the pull to make a compromise happen, and getting 21 down to 4ish is a long road. Is there any scenario where he sacrifices his speakership, or is he going to hold out?
