My state has a us congressperson like that, Lauren Boebert

---

Yes, she is unhinged. She has 'workplace shooter' written all over her.

---

a deranged bitch like her belongs in the nuthouse, not in a damn position of power...

Honestly she seems like a piece of shit.

I dont like the idea of congress being able to remove someone that was legitimately voted in though because they disagree with them. That seems like a horrible fucking idea.

If you want to present criminal charges and arrest them be my fucking guest, but this I dont really like.

In another ten years or so, she'll be viewed as an average Republican.

I mean isnt that the whole point of the US? Left cause they thought the king was insane and created rules to prevent insane people from having power right?

Let's put all the conspiracy nonsense she believes to the side for a moment.

She literally called for the death of her co-workers. If I did that, I'm pretty sure I'd be fired from my job.

Weird how most new sites and people gloss over that and focus on the jewish space laser.

I have you tagged as a redcap so I know there isn't going to be a reasonable or intelligent conversation with you on this, or most matters.

Can impeachment be used against members of Congress?
Technically, members of Congress do not go through impeachment proceedings. But they can be expelled from office and disciplined in other ways.
According to a report by the Congressional Research Service, expulsion is a more simplified process than impeachment.
"A removal through an impeachment requires the action of both houses of Congress impeachment in the House and trial and conviction in the Senate; while an expulsion is accomplished merely by the House or Senate acting alone concerning one of its own Members, and without the constitutional requirement of trial and conviction," the report states.
House and Senate members can expel members with a two-thirds vote, as is laid out in Article I of the Constitution.
A congressional recall, on the other hand, is not provided for by the Constitution. This consists of constituents voting to place an early limit on the term of their representative through a special election. Some states do provide for recalls for some other state officials, but Supreme Court decisions have opposed the right of states to impose a recall on members of Congress, according to the CRS report.
Another way to discipline a members of Congress, but that would not result in removal from office, is a censure, which is a formal reprimand of a member that requires a simple majority vote.
A House Republican has also introduced a motion to censure Schiff over his exaggerated reenactment of a phone call between Trump and the Ukraine president.
So, Trump's call for the impeachment of his critics won't pan out for legal reasons, and it would also be difficult to expel them from office.
Has the removal of a member of Congress ever been tried?
There is only one documented case of an attempted impeachment of a member of Congress, in 1797. Though the House of Representatives voted to impeach Sen. William Blount, the Senate rejected the move for reasons including that he was not considered a "civil officer" based on his role in Congress and that he had already been expelled, which made impeachment a moot point.
As for expulsion, 15 senators and five members of the House have met that fate in the history of the United States. Most were related to Civil War infractions. The United States hasn't seen an expulsion since 2002, when Ohio Rep. James Traficant was convicted on bribery, racketeering and tax evasion charges.

At the very least she needs to be removed from any and all oversight committees and be relegated to the most basic role possible in the House. But I would like to see her removed, yes.

@MaxEffingBemis

The yellow is the mountains, the blue is the plains. 90% of the population lives along the front where they meet

Anyone who supported the riots should be removed honestly.

No, its worse, her opponent dropped out and moved out of state due to death threats against him and his family from Marjorie Taylor Greenes supporters.

She should. She won't. She is the future GOP presidential candidate.

2 and 5 are less mountainous hilly areas with distinct borders and kind of different cultures

And it seems the mountains and the plains areas are both red districts. Interesting
