If the censure resolution passes, Bowman will become the third Democratic House member to be censured this year.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman admitted to triggering a fire alarm in a House office building and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.
The use of censure as a form of punishment has become more frequent in recent years.
The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on a resolution to censure Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman for triggering a fire alarm in a House office building. The incident occurred during a vote on a government funding bill. Rep. Bowman has admitted to the act and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge. He has agreed to pay a fine and serve probation.
Censure is a significant rebuke but does not carry an explicit penalty. If the resolution passes, Bowman will become the third Democratic House member to be censured this year. The resolution failed to be blocked by a Democratic motion.
The use of censure as a form of punishment has become more frequent in recent years. Only four House members have been censured in the 21st century. The House recently voted to expel GOP Rep. George Santos.
The vote on the resolution reflects the increasing use of censure as a punishment in a partisan manner. Some progressive Democrats argue that the censure is racially motivated. However, this claim is not supported by all members of the House.
