Expulsions occurred during the Civil War era, including Missouri senators in 1862 for secession, while attempts to expel others, such as Ohio’s John Smith in 1808, illustrate ongoing enforcement of loyalty standards.
The article recalls historical expulsions and disloyalty episodes in Congress including John C. Aaron Burr conspiracy links, Jesse D Bright’s 1862 expulsion for disloyalty, and Philip F Thomas’s 1868 seat refusal. It notes constitutional precedents and the power of each house to expel members for any cause without impeachment formalities.
