Original Note:
For context, the three TN Democrat lawmakers violated TN Constitution's Article II, Section 12 which empowers the House to "punish its members for disorderly behavior," and to expel members with a two-thirds majority vote. They were not expelled for protesting. https://www.capitol.tn.gov/Archives/House/111GA/publications/111th%20Permanent%20Rules.pdf https://www.npr.org/2023/04/06/1168363992/tennessee-expel-3-democrats-house-vote#:~:text=The%20Tennessee%20Constitution's%20Article%20II,lawmakers'%20seats%20would%20become%20vacant.
