  5. Expulsion from the United States Congress

Events on October 2 in history

1980Oct, 2

Michael Myers becomes the first member of either chamber of Congress to be expelled since the Civil War.

Expulsion is the most serious form of disciplinary action that can be taken against a Member of Congress. The United States Constitution (Article I, Section 5, Clause 2) provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member." The processes for expulsion differ somewhat between the House of Representatives and the Senate.Censure, a less severe form of disciplinary action, is an official sanction of a member. It does not remove a member from office.
