The House also voted to approve a Democrat-sponsored resolution requiring an investigative subcommittee any time a House member is indicted or charged with a crime. That measure passed by a vote of 387-10.

This AP article asserts that no Member of Congress has been expelled, unless "convicted of a crime." This is flat-out false. Adam Clayton Powell was expelled without that. There were two Socialists who were elected during the '30s, and expelled for political reason.
