The Supreme Court ruled the House lacked power to exclude Rep. Adam Clayton Powell for the 1967 term. Chief Justice Warren held that a member-elect meeting constitutional requirements cannot be denied seat, despite past rejections. Justice Stewart dissented. Powell, longtime Harlem Democrat and chair of the Education and Labor panel, had been censured and barred after a House committee found misconduct. He was reelected and seated in the 101st Congress after federal courts rejected his suit.
