Alcee Hastings, a Democratic congressman from Florida, has died at age 84, Fox News has confirmed.
He suffered from pancreatic cancer.
Hastings had been a federal judge and was impeached and convicted by the Senate in the late 1980s. But he then ran for Congress and won in 1992.
Hastings represented Florida's 20th Congressional District, which includes Democratic areas around Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. He was the dean of the Florida congressional delegation as the longest-serving member from the Sunshine State.

West Palm Beach. Making room for DJT to run and be elected Speaker. Bye, Nancy!
“Hastings had been a federal judge and was impeached and convicted by the Senate in the late 1980s.”
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
It is amazing that so many liars, cheaters and criminals thrive in the Democratic party.
Flood warnings up for whenever the funeral will be. YUGE receptacle required for puking due to the lies that’ll be told.
He was as corrupt as the day is long.
The House may have rules, but the Constitution doesn’t require the Speaker to be an elected official.
His like will never be seen again....LOL, who am I kidding? They’ll replace him with another race baiting grifter in no time flat.
BURN IN HELL!
But the Constitution does allow both houses to set their own rules and standards. So a non-member Speaker ? Go play the lottery you’ll win that before you see a nonmember Speaker.
Not even remotely talking about what you are suggesting. I’m following something else that was brought to my attention this weekend.
No kidding!
The House and Senate have both nullified Article 1, Section 5 requirements for a quorum. So long as no member complains.
A “mainstream” Rat bites the dust...”mainstream” meaning thoroughly corrupt...thoroughly amoral.
>>Hastings had been a federal judge and was impeached and convicted by the Senate in the late 1980s. But he then ran for Congress and won in 1992.
AND yet the Democrats believe that Donald Trump should not be able to serve in office because he’s “been impeached” even though he was re-elected with even more votes than the first time.
It’s a sad day because with the division in the country, I don’t really care. All I can think of is this: Crazy Nancy just lost a vote, at least temporarily. I wish I could care about his death, but I don’t.
All that I see that there is one less traitor and domestic enemy gone. Nothing more.
Pelosi, Shumi, and Biden are next.
