Santos Could Still Access Some Congressional Perks If Expelled, But Not Others
-
He could still have access to walk onto the House floor and use lawmakers-only facilities like the gym and dining room, unless specifically banned.
-
He could purchase his office furniture, including his desk for $1,000 and chair for $500, and likely auction it off for profit.
-
He'd typically gain automatic membership into the Former Members of Congress association, but the group said Santos does not reflect their values and would not be welcomed.
-
He won't qualify for any Congressional pension benefits since he hasn't served the 5 year minimum.
-
He still faces trial next September on federal charges related to his campaign, which could eventually bar him from the House floor if convicted.
