Censuring Representative George Santos.
This resolution formally censures Representative George Santos for making multiple false statements during his congressional campaign. It specifically cites his lies about claiming Jewish heritage and Holocaust-survivor grandparents, falsely stating his mother died in the 9/11 attacks, fabricating educational degrees and employment history (including at Goldman Sachs), and inventing a charity and Broadway involvement. The resolution requires Santos to appear in the House chamber for the public reading of the censure by the Speaker. As a procedural resolution, it serves as a formal House rebuke without imposing legal penalties or changing laws.
