Loss of Congressional Pension After Expulsion from Congress
This bill aims to prevent former members of Congress who have been expelled from receiving pension benefits for their service. This means that if a member of Congress is removed from office, they will lose their right to a pension for their period of service, although they will retain the right to a refund of their contributions.
