Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution calls for the expulsion of Representative Eric Swalwell from the House of Representatives based on allegations of misconduct with a former congressional staffer. According to investigative reporting from April 2026, a former staffer alleged she had a sexual relationship with Swalwell and stated that on at least one occasion he engaged in sexual activity with her while she was too intoxicated to consent. The allegations have been referred to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for investigation, and Swalwell subsequently suspended his campaign for California Governor and acknowledged "mistakes in judgment" following the public reporting. The resolution argues that Swalwell violated the House Code of Official Conduct by abusing his position of authority and that his continued service brings discredit to the institution. If passed, the resolution would remove Swalwell from office, requiring a two-thirds majority vote in the House as specified in the Constitution.
