Original Note:
Tweet is misleading. The House is authorised to "punish its members for disorderly behavior" to include expulsion by 2/3rds vote. https://www.capitol.tn.gov/Archives/House/111GA/publications/111th%20Permanent%20Rules.pdf The expelled lawmakers conceded they violated "decorum by walking on the floor...and speaking without being formally recognized." https://www.npr.org/2023/04/06/1168363992/tennessee-expel-3-democrats-house-vote
