Answering several posters who have made this same point.The question would be what would the voters of his district do? Ultimately it's up to them...
There is a constitutional provision that allows congress to remove a member with two-thirds concurence. That has been done to twenty congressmen, with seventeen of them being confederate supporting Democrats, one being a Democrat who incited the Creek and the Cherokee into insurrection, and two being late twentieth century Democrat political gangsters.
If the argument is that elected congressment and senators should hold their seat no matter what they do, I can't go along with that. If the argument is that in extreme cases they can be expelled but Santos' case isn't extreme enough, that is arguable, but I disagree.
