The vote to expel Jones was 72 to 25. The legislature is set to now vote on the other representatives, Reps. Gloria Johnson and Justin Pearson, who led the protest, as reported by NPR.
The three lawmakers have understood that they haven’t followed the rules of order and decorum about speaking out of turn while on the House floor.
A vote for expulsion will result in the lawmakers being removed from office.
