hold on there's just too much going on in Congress lmao...
Remove Rep. Tony Gonzalez from two House committees.
Mrs. Luna (sponsor), Rep. Tony Gonzalez (subject).
Referred to Committee, no full House vote yet.
This resolution, introduced by Mrs. Luna, seeks to remove Representative Tony Gonzalez of Texas from his positions on the House Committee on Appropriations and the House Committee on Homeland Security. The bill states this is due to 'conduct he has exhibited' that does not 'reflect creditably on the House.' It has been referred to the Committee on Ethics for review, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
Introduced Mar 4, 2026
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 4, 2026, by Mrs. Luna. It was then referred to the Committee on Ethics. For this resolution to pass, it would need to be approved by the Committee on Ethics and then receive a majority vote in the full House of Representatives. As a House Resolution, it would not proceed to the Senate or require the President's signature.
If this resolution passes, Representative Tony Gonzalez would be removed from the Appropriations Committee, which controls government spending, and the Homeland Security Committee, which oversees national security matters. This would change the number of members on those committees and could alter the balance of votes on bills and oversight activities. His constituents would no longer have his direct representation on these specific, powerful committees.
Supporters Say
Supporters believe Representative Gonzalez's conduct warrants his removal from these key committees.
Critics Say
Critics are not specified in the bill text but may raise concerns about the nature of the conduct or due process.
The bill explicitly states that Representative Gonzalez 'should be removed from his committee assignments in light of conduct he has exhibited' that is not 'creditable on the House.' This suggests supporters believe his actions fall short of expected decorum or duties. The resolution does not detail specific criticisms or counter-arguments, but debates around such resolutions often involve discussions of parliamentary procedure, the gravity of the alleged conduct, and the fairness of the removal process.
