New GOP Rules Limit Participation for Indicted House Members
After the midterm elections, the House Republican Conference revised its internal party rules for the 116th Congress, which starts in January. The changes require any member who is indicted “for a felony for which a sentence of two or more years imprisonment may be imposed” to “promptly” submit their resignations from all committees.
Specifically recall the policy includes immediate replacement via appointment.
D's do not have a similar policy and would be forced to wait for special elections to fill the seat(s).
