Perhaps they can declare George Santos mentally incapacitated by pathological dishonesty.

Yeah. He filled the seat and is still holding it to this day. (Although the district looks different now. Hoyer and Spellman’s home base from back then are now in a different district.)

I can't help but feel like that Congress would fuck around for an entire election cycle if this happened today instead of making the seat vacant. Like whichever party would benefit from a comatose congressman would stonewall any resolution on the matter.
