                        PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE

  Mr. SANTOS. Madam Speaker, pursuant to clause 2(a)(1) of rule IX, I 
rise to give notice of my intention to raise a question of the 
privileges of the House.
  The form of the resolution is as follows:
  In the matter of Representative Jamaal Bowman from New York;
  Whereas, Representative Jamaal Bowman is a Member of the United 
States House of Representatives;

[[Page H6000]]

  Whereas, on September 30, 2023, Representative Jamaal Bowman 
knowingly and willingly gave a false fire alarm in the Cannon House 
Office Building;
  Whereas, on October 26, 2023, Representative Jamaal Bowman pleaded 
guilty to one count of falsely pulling the alarm; and
  Whereas, Representative Jamaal Bowman's actions caused the closing of 
the Cannon House Office Building and resulted in the disruption of an 
official proceeding in the Congress.
  Now, therefore, be it resolved that pursuant to Article I, Section 5, 
Clause 2 of the Constitution of the United States, Representative 
Jamaal Bowman, be and he hereby is, expelled from the House of 
Representatives.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Letlow). Under rule IX, a resolution 
offered from the floor by a Member other than the majority leader or 
the minority leader as a question of the privileges of the House has 
immediate precedence only at a time designated by the Chair within 2 
legislative days after the resolution is properly noticed.
  Pending that designation, the form of the resolution noticed by the 
gentleman from New York will appear in the Record at this point.
  The Chair will not at this point determine whether the resolution 
constitutes a question of privilege. That determination will be made at 
the time designated for consideration of the resolution.
