William Blount's story is interesting. He was one of the Founders and signed the Constitution, and the reason he was kicked out was for trying to get Britain to take over Spanish owned Florida and Louisiana to boost local land prices since he was severely in debt. Even after his expulsion he was popular in Tennessee, where he served as governor before becoming a Congressman and even served as its governor when it was just the Southwest Territory.

Preston Brooks only avoided punishment because he resigned. Both he and one of his accomplices (Laurence Massillon Keitt of South Carolina, who was censured and resigned as well) were enthusiastically reelected, while his second accomplice (Henry Alonzo Edmundson of Virginia) avoided censure and remained in the House until the secession of Virginia.

Do you think George Santos will be the 21st person in American history to be kicked out of Congress?
