A New York Democrat is looking to restrict floor privileges from expelled members of Congress after a surprise visit from former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) at the State of the Union last week. 

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) introduced his “Getting Expelled Officially Revokes Guaranteed Entry Resolution,” also known as the GEORGE Resolution, on Monday — a not-so-subtle jab at Santos, who drew the ire of several of his former colleagues after returning to the House floor last week. Under House rules, former members of Congress are permitted to enter the House chamber at any time, a privilege that was not rescinded when Santos was ousted last year.
