Seems unlikely that the House Republicans will cut their narrow voting margin by 1/9 to punish resumé enhancement. Kevin McCarthy is not easily embarrassed. I bet Rep. George Santos goes on Hannity, turns ultra-MAGA, and toughs out his 2 years of congressional salary and benefits.

 The sternest punishment the House imposes is expulsion. Only five Representatives have been expelled
