Providing for the expulsion of Representative Tony Gonzales from the United States House of Representatives.
This resolution seeks to remove Representative Tony Gonzales from the U.S. House of Representatives due to violations of the Code of Official Conduct. It addresses allegations that Gonzales engaged in sexual relationships and made unwelcome sexual advances toward two female staff members who worked under his supervision. The text outlines specific incidents, including admitted conduct and text messages showing inappropriate behavior, as well as the tragic death of one staffer who set herself on fire. The resolution calls for Gonzales to be expelled from office based on Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which gives the House authority to expel its own members.
