A censure resolution would require a vote by the House disapproving Rangel's conduct and the speaker would orally administer an embarrassing rebuke to the 20-term Democrat in front of his colleagues.

Censured? That's it? He's not getting thrown out on his butt? Who the hell elects this man in office in the first place?
