AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution would expel Representative Tony Gonzales from the U.S. House of Representatives under the part of the Constitution that lets the House remove its own Members. The resolution states that he violated a House rule that bars Members from sexual relationships with staff they supervise and from unwelcome sexual advances toward House employees. It cites his March 2026 admission of a sexual relationship with a staffer who later died, along with text messages reported by news outlets. It also states that he would have the right to present a defense on the House floor before any vote.
