U.S. politician George Santos expelled from Congress
It used to be that somebody needed to commit treason to get kicked out of Congress -- 17 Congressmen were expelled for supporting the Confederacy in the early 1860s, and one was expelled for trying to incite natives to conquer West Florida for the British back in 1797.
Now all it takes is financial malfeasance.
Shows how Congress' priorities have changed between the 1860s and the 1980s.
