United States Senate: Expulsion and Censure

Article I, Section 5, of the United States Constitution provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member."

Since 1789, the Senate has expelled only fifteen of its entire membership. Of that number, fourteen were charged with support of the Confederacy during the Civil War. In several other cases, the Senate considered expulsion proceedings but either found the member not guilty or failed to act before the member left office. In those cases, corruption was the primary cause of complaint.

Rather than using the phrase “Drain the Swamp,” I propose we “Drain the Sewer” of all the political and MSM human waste!! That would be a more accurate description of what’s floating in our political system, ya think?
