Rep. Nancy Mace introduces resolutions to ban sexual relationships with all House employees

Rep. Nancy Mace introduced H.Res. 1465 to expand ethics rules that currently only prohibit relationships with a member's direct or committee staff. The new measure would prohibit sexual relationships between House members and any employee of the chamber. Mace stated that Congress is not a personal dating pool and argued that members have abused their power over staff for too long. A second resolution, H.Res. 1466, would prevent members from living with any House employee who is not their legal spouse. These proposals follow recent reports of misconduct involving lawmakers and aides on Capitol Hill. Mace claimed the loopholes in House rules are a disgrace to taxpayers and must be closed to protect employees.

These resolutions are a two part legislative package introduced simultaneously to address different types of personal interactions between members and employees. While H.Res. 1465 targets physical relationships, H.Res. 1466 specifically bans shared housing unless the individuals are married.
