Punchbowl News: “Gaetz has resigned from the 118th Congress. But he was elected to serve in the 119th Congress. Gaetz’s resignation letter said he didn’t intend to take the oath for the new Congress in January.”
“However, Gaetz could still be sworn in if he alerts the clerk of the House that he now intends to serve as a member come Jan. 3. It’s not clear what Gaetz will decide.”
“Yet if Gaetz does return, he will come under the jurisdiction of the Ethics Committee once again. That means the Ethics Committee report becomes an issue again – and it makes the stakes that much higher for the panel’s Dec. 5 meeting.”
