WASHINGTON — The highest-ranking woman in the House of Representatives is calling for a “bright-line rule” prohibiting lawmakers from having sexual relationships with congressional staff after The Post revealed Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) slept with at least two aides to Texas Democrats.
Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.), chairwoman of the House Republican Caucus, told The Post that “Senator Gallego’s relationships fall short of the standard the public expects from elected officials.”
“Congress should have a bright-line rule that Members should not have romantic or sexual relationships with congressional staff,” the No. 4 House Republican said.
“Even if a relationship is consensual, there is an inherent power imbalance that can undermine trust and create an appearance of impropriety. The goal should be protecting staff and maintaining confidence in the institution,” she said.
“My standard is the same regardless of party or personality. Members of Congress should be held to a high ethical standard whether they have an ‘R’ or a ‘D’ next to their name.”
The House of Representatives approved a policy in 2018 — at the height of the #MeToo movement — banning its members from having relationships with their own employees — after four lawmakers resigned for alleged misconduct.
That policy does not explicitly bar relationships with staff from other offices and was not adopted by the Senate.
Gallego’s activities were revealed by The Post on Thursday after Democratic sources dished on the freshman senator’s dalliances during his decade representing Phoenix in the House.

All congress critters should be fitted with chastity belts when they get sworn in ,LOL
I guess she’s jealous.
My standard is the same regardless of party or personality. Members of Congress should be held to a high ethical standard whether they have an ‘R’ or a ‘D’ next to their name.

If they have a D next to their name, they don’t have ethical standards, so that’s a contradiction.

The women there aren’t gonna likemit either.
These bastards have an actual slush fund to pay out damages &, to silence someone.
Check it out. Its not much talk about.
I believe ADAM SVHIFF has been a recipient of these funds for him to pay out & settle HIS “ debt”
Thou shalt not use thy rod on thy staff.
Standards? Our stinkin’ congress-critters don’t have no standards. If they did, they’d be doing real work.
Eliminate funds to pay for civil lawsuits for these critters.
She's got the shoulders of a linebacker.
It takes two to tango
I thought that was what the staffers were there for.
The congress still has that hush money fund.

Is this too late to save that girl found in Morning Joe’s congressional office?
Is Rep. McClain also saying congressmen can’t kill their assistants and interns?
With all due respect to Rep. McClain (Clueless-MI), there are already mechanisms in place.
