The resolution is a disciplinary action by the House of Representatives against one of its members, a power explicitly granted to each chamber by the Constitution.

The four-question test is not applicable to internal legislative discipline, but if applied, it would pass: an individual or family cannot handle this (it is a matter of legislative governance), a local community or county cannot handle it, a state cannot handle it,…
• ✓ Passes · Due process and takings
  The resolution does not bypass due process or take property without just compensation. The House has its own procedures for disciplinary actions, and the resolution was subject to debate and a vote.
