The House clerk read resignation letters from Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) Tuesday afternoon that will officially end the lawmakers’ tenures in the House.
The duel resignations come as the two men faced sexual misconduct allegations and efforts from colleagues to have them expelled. Swalwell’s resignation was effective at 2 p.m.; Gonzales’ will be effective midnight.
