Sinner or saint, George Santos must be seated | The Hill "In a city that virtually floats on the uplift from inflated resumes, Representative-elect George Santos (R-N.Y.) is a standout. The incoming freshman is accused of a dizzying array of false claims, ranging from being Jewish to being a graduate of leading colleges. A host of congressional, state and federal investigations are in the works.
"The problem is that, for the most part, he is accused of something that is no crime in Congress: lying.
"Indeed, if lying were criminal, the House would be hard pressed to assemble a quorum outside of a federal penitentiary.
"More practically, Santos has constitutional defenses to any effort to bar him from taking his seat to represent New York’s 3rd Congressional District.
"Santos, 34, appears to have been a virtual false-claims machine.". . .
