Baird | B001307 | baird.house.gov | baird | https://baird.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) released the following statement after voting against expelling former Congressman George Santos (NY-03) from the U.S. House of Representatives. “Only two other Members of Congress have been expelled since the Civil War. In both cases, each Member was convicted of a crime. Congressman Santos’ pattern of deception is incredibly concerning but it is a mistake to remove him before he’s received due process,” said Rep. Baird. “In Congress, transparency and honesty should be a priority. But removing a Member of the House before they’ve been afforded due process sets a dangerous precedent for Congress and the country.” Former Congressman Santos was expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 311-114, with two members voting present. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
