>Proposed House GOP rules would force indicted lawmakers to step down from leader roles

 

New proposed rules for House GOP members would force any Republican indicted for a felony to step down from their committee assignment or leadership role.

 

According to a new rule, any committee member indicted on a felony “for which a sentence of two or more years imprisonment may be imposed” will be required to submit a resignation from their role to the House “promptly.”

 

Under the new rule, the Republican conference will elect a member to temporarily serve in a vacated position should a leadership member be forced to step down.

 

The rules were first obtained by Politico. The Hill has reached out to the House GOP caucus for comment.

 

The guidelines come days after Democrats were able to regain control of the House in Tuesday’s midterm elections, which also saw the victories of two incumbent Republican congressmen who won their reelection bids after being indicted on felony charges.
