A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution seeks the expulsion of Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from the United States House of Representatives. The action follows a Department of Justice announcement regarding a federal grand jury indictment involving multiple felony offenses. Specifically, the indictment alleges the theft of $5,000,000 in FEMA disaster funds. These funds were allegedly laundered and misused to support the Representative's 2021 congressional campaign. Additionally, the House Committee on Ethics has opened investigations into campaign finance and disclosure issues. The resolution concludes that the Representative should be expelled pursuant to the Constitution.
