Mace and Mills Exchange Dueling Expulsion Resolutions Amid Misconduct Allegations

Representative Nancy Mace moved to expel Representative Cory Mills from the House on April 20. This move follows claims of domestic violence and fraud against the Florida Republican. Representative Mills then filed a resolution to expel Mace from Congress. He claims she misused taxpayer money and broke ethics rules. The public fight has caused tensions for the House Republican majority. Representative Mills said he will not resign while the House Ethics Committee looks into the claims. Removing a member of Congress requires a two-thirds vote.

Who This Affects

2 groups

Mixed

Military Veteran

The resolution raises serious questions about the integrity of military awards by alleging a sitting congressman used fabricated documents to receive a Bronze Star. If the expulsion succeeds and the allegations are validated, it could prompt greater scrutiny of military award processes, but it also risks undermining public trust in the awards system more broadly.

Helps

Federal Employee

Congressional staff who have worked in Mace's office have reported hostile working conditions including screaming, public humiliation, and retaliation. If the resolution succeeded, it would remove a member accused of creating one of the most toxic workplaces on Capitol Hill, potentially improving conditions for current staff. However, the resolution is extremely unlikely to pass.

Policies

These are retaliatory resolutions where two lawmakers are using the same rare legislative tool against each other. Both bills were introduced on April 20, 2026, and are currently at the same stage in the committee process.
