Legislature Debate on Expulsion Authority Cited by Attorney General
The attorney general argued that the constitution grants each house power to punish or expel its members with two thirds of its vote, noting no precedent for expelling a legislator versus seat eligibility. He referenced the Adam Clayton Powell decision and a 1940 state ruling on convicted individuals running for the House of Delegates, concluding the Legislature has constitutional authority to expel a member under proper circumstances.
