What happens if a Senator or Rep is convicted of a serious crime? Example - Omar whatever her real name is, the Somalian cockroach, is being investigated for not just financial crimes but immigration fraud. Suppose she is convicted. Does she get a free pass, or other?
Does she get a free pass, or other?....Of course. Black, woman, Muslim and Democrat. PLUS...An invited guest for diversity.
Usually, if something like this happens, the party elders will say, "You know you have to go; let's not make it ugly." But a congressman or senator can force the issue, and then it's up to the member's House to vote on expulsion.
If convicted of immigration fraud, she can be deported.

Interesting Question. I attempted to research that. About the best that I can say is.. even if arrested, sentenced, and thrown in jail, congress critters are still in office. Only if expelled by 2/3 vote does that change.
Chances of that 2/3 at present, are slim and none-slim was seen riding a fast horse out of DC.
