Torres Proposes Rule to Bar Expelled Lawmakers Like Santos from House Floor
- Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) plans to introduce a "GEORGE" rule to revoke House floor access for expelled lawmakers
- The rule comes after ousted Rep. George Santos appeared at the State of the Union address

- Torres said expelled members should not keep Congressional perks
- The rule would need Republican support to pass, though they voted to expel Santos
