Censure...what a fucking joke. Hey while you're at it pass a RESOLUTION! That'll help a lot
I hear ya. It might be all they could get for now. I think censure requires majority vote by those present, whereas expulsion requires 2/3 majority and the corrupt GOPe members don't want to support it and risk exposing their own criminality later. So the win is taking Schiff out of his committees including the intelligence committee so he can't do any more damage, and fining him $16M. He can still face real charges later.
While there are no House Rules regarding the consequences of a “censure,” the two political parties in the House themselves have adopted their own internal party rules which, in recent years, have generally barred from certain leadership positions, including the chairmanship of committees and subcommittees, those Members who have been censured during that Congress. Political party rules of the parties in the House may be changed by the particular party caucus or conference itself according to its own rules.
