Court rules Powell may take House seat despite past action
The Supreme Court held the House lacked power to exclude Adam Clayton Powell from taking his seat in 1967 if he met constitutional requirements. Chief Justice Warren stated the Constitution sets membership criteria of 25 years old, seven years a citizen, and residency, and that historical actions cannot justify excluding a validly elected member. Powell, Harlem Democrat, had been censured for misconduct and later won reelection to the 91st Congress.
