To: Recovering Ex-hippie

Just did some research and it appears that I’m wrong.A House member can be expelled but that’s it. I must have misheard or misunderstood something I had once heard or read.

Correct.

When Can Congress Refuse to Seat a Duly-Elected Candidate?

The short answer is never.

Of course, that doesn't mean they won't try. The Constitution is for the little people.

I think it’s the Senate that can refuse to recognize a new member
