There seems to be some confusion on Facebook about why New York state doesn't fire David Santos and hold a new election for his congressional seat.
Congress makes its own rules, just as it votes on its own salaries. There is a rule that says Congressmen may NOT be fired or removed for any reason until a term has been completed. It's very self-serving and assures the party of the guilty part that it will control that seat until the next election.
Under normal circumstances, the guilt and shame of whatever conduct has been exposed has been enough, thus far, to have Congressmen relinquish their seats when publicly shamed. Normally (!!!), the Speaker of the House would remove said Congressman from all committees and sit that person down and tell him to do the right thing. Sadly, Kevin McCarthy is not the "normal" Speaker of the House, and we all know Santos has absolutely no remorse or shame or feelings of guilt for having lied his way into office.
The state of New York is powerless until 2024. FWIW, McCarthy also cannot fire him, but he can ensure Santos has nothing to do but draw his salary. That won't happen.
