The GOP has some options when it comes to George Santos, but each path has its pitfalls, and most Republicans don't appear ready to take drastic measures.
Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., says, R-Calif., isn’t doing anything about Santos. McCarthy will even assign Santos to House committees.
A Democratic win in Virginia would shrink the GOP majority to 222-213. It dwindles to 221-213 if Santos weren’t a member and Democrats win the Virginia special election.That would mean Republicans can only lose three votes on any given roll call. By rule, a tie vote fails in the House.Democrats are already tying Santos to McCarthy and his tight victory for the speakership.
Such a step is considered under a provision in the House known as a"question of privilege." By rule, the House is required to consider such a resolution to sanction or expel Santos within two days — whether or not Santos goes before the Ethics Committee. However, the House must consider the issue immediately if offered by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.to let Santos drag House Republicans into the ethical quicksand and fantasyland.
