“The Texas Constitution doesn’t allow for that.”

It sure as Hell does!

Texas Constitution:

“Sec. 11. RULES OF PROCEDURE; PUNISHMENT OR EXPULSION OF
MEMBER. Each House may determine the rules of its own proceedings, punish members for disorderly conduct, and, with the consent of two-thirds, expel a member, but not a second time for the same offense.”

Did you even read what you just posted? It takes a 2/3rds vote of the entire House to expel a member. There is no procedure or process to unilaterally declare seats vacant and hold special elections for those seats.

The U.S. Constitution has the same provision. Piglosi can’t just get rid of Majorie Greene either.

The House needs a quorum to do any business including expelling a member. Once they get a quorum, then they can expel a member if they want.
