Texas House expels Bryan Slaton, first member ousted since 1927
The Texas House unanimously voted to expel Bryan Slaton on Tuesday, one day after the Royse City Republican submitted his resignation after an internal investigation determined that he had sex with a 19-year-old aide after getting her drunk. After a solemn, sometimes angry and tearful recounting of Slaton’s "graphic" and "offensive" behavior, the House voted 147-0 for expulsion, making Slaton the first member of the Texas Legislature to be removed from office since 1927. Support of two-thirds of the House was needed for expulsion.
