Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member. -- U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 5, Clause 2)

What I heard on War Room a few minutes ago, the fine is just a suggestion to pass on to the Ethics Committee. The Ethics Committee could raise it, lower it, or throw it out.
