House Democrats introduced a resolution that would bar former President Donald Trump — along with Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, Peter Navarro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Kenneth Cheseboro, Rudy Giuliani, and other figures — from entering the U.S. Capitol.
Reps. Nikema Williams (D-Ga.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) introduced the resolution in the House Committee on House Administration.
👋🏾 Hey @FoxNews, glad to see you read my bill (even if you didn't read my name)! @RepSwalwell co-sponsored my legislation, but I'll sign on to his analogy: let's keep the arsonists out of the Capitol y'all. https://t.co/BkcRTDFT6U — Congresswoman Nikema Williams (@RepNikema) February 22, 2023
The measure draws on information from the former House Jan. 6 Committee, arguing that Trump and his allies put members of congress in "genuine peril."
"The effort to undermine and overturn the 2020 presidential election damaged the functions of our democracy," the resolution states.
Those efforts also "damaged the integrity of Congress's constitutional role in certifying the election results" and "put the lives of Members of Congress and the Vice President of the United States in genuine peril," it adds.
Shortly after the events of Jan. 6, 2021, Williams introduced a similar measure that would ban Trump from visiting the Capitol.
The resolution stated: "The Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate, and the United States Capitol Police shall take such actions as may be necessary to prohibit President Donald John Trump from entering the United States Capitol at any time after the expiration of his term as President."
In response, Trump, who is running for president again, called Swalwell an "idiot" and noted Swalwell's relationship with a Chinese spy.

How has swalwell not been arrested over his relationship with a Chinese spy?
RE: How has swalwell not been arrested over his relationship with a Chinese spy?
His excuse is he didn’t know that she was a spy.
You can always plead ignorance, or in Hillary’s case, benign motives and if you’re a Democrat, you get the benefit of the doubt.
What a couple of fools?
“His excuse is he didn’t know that she was a spy.”
Was that also Feinstein’s excuse about her Chinese driver?
Unconstitutional bill of attainder.
All for show. If they really wanted to pass it, they would have done it before they lost the house.
One of the sockpuppets in the comments to this article maintains that it was “proven” that Fang Fang was not a chinese spy. The FIB disproved it. /eyeroll
I don’t recall seeing anything about this...
And somebody actually believes this resolution will go somewhere?
Three chances of that - fat, slim, and none at all.
Of course, Eric Swalwell’s judgment is not all that great, either.
Fourth grade schoolyard tactics.
When Trump runs it will be nearly impossible in the run-up to the vote to find any actual live voter who is not finally and permanently fixed his opinion of Donald J Trump.
Absent war or depression, the election will be decided on who hates the most.
“In response, Trump... called Swalwell an “idiot” -— LOL.
Amend it to include ANY person that has had any type of relationship with a Known SPY
And these same people don’t seem at all concerned that any and all undocumented immigrants (illegals) in DC. Even those with no background checks doing and planning TRULY violent and insurrectionist acts against US Citizens and our Republic.
Clearly unconstitutional
Wouldn’t this be a bill of attainder, which is unconstitutional?
Precisely
However insane this is take note that this is again the DemoMarxists taking action unlike the Republicans who STILL won’t even speak of the attempted coup of Trump from 2017 to 2020 using what the DemoMarxists KNEW was a hoax.
And just as I predicted, absolutely NOTHING is happening under Kevin McCarthy. Look at his Twitter, all he’s been doing is whining about the border the past month. OK then, so HOLD IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS KEVIN!!! At LEAST send a message!
Instead we are now heading into March and he’s doing absolute SH*T. “Oh Hunter doesn’t want to testify” and they all hide. Oh lets forget Hunter, let’s look at the Jan.6th videos.
This is the M.O. for the RINO party, talk talk talk talk, then nothing happens and the months go by, years go by and it fades meanwhile the DemoMarxists are taking action on 20,000 different plans to destroy this country all at once.
Because the RINO party is useless
Trump is right again swalwell is an Idiot.
Pure fundraiser blather. The House will not pass it. It’s unconstitutional anyway.
