Pelosi Rejects Resolution by Democrats to Expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
San Fran NanPelosi  Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...(D-Calif.) on Friday said she rejected a move by some Democrats led by Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from Congress. About 70 House Democrats joined Gomez in signing the resolution. However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... to expel a member of Congress, the bid requires a two-thirds supermajority, meaning that a significant number of Republicans would need to join. "I’m not going to get into that," Pelosi told news hounds Friday about the bid to expel Greene, suggesting that she did not support his resolution. "Members are very unhappy about what’s happened here. And they can express themselves the way they do. What Mr. Gomez did is his own view. And that is not a leadership position." Expulsion is a rare scenario in Congress. The last time a member was expelled was in 2002 when the House voted to force out then-Ohio Democratic Rep. James Traficant after he was convicted of several corruption charges and faced sentencing in prison.
