Powell Defamation Case Forces House Vote to Bar Him
The House banned Powell after a select committee found he defrauded the government of at least 40 000 dollars. The committee recommended seating him but censuring and ordering repayment. The full House rejected that and voted 307 to 116 to bar him. He could seek back pay and regain seniority if the Supreme Court rules in his favor.
