Pennsylvania's House of Representatives does have the ability to expel State Rep. Aaron Bernstine. The problem, however, is needing two thirds of the vote. Currently it's split 103-100 in favor of Dems. He needs to be out of public service yesterday.

It's not like this is the first time his actions have caused calls for his resignation. qburgh.com/demand-aaron... He was previously seen on video encouraging his 5 year old son to smoke a cigar in 2020. Oh and also involving another child in another not age appropriate activity.
This is not Bernstine's first controversy in office.

In 2020, Republican legislative leaders called for Bernstine's resignation after videos surfaced showing him encouraging his then-5-year-old son to smoke a cigar and use derogatory language about women. Other footage showed Bernstine involving another child in an adult-themed "Fuck, Marry, Kill" game.

Bernstine later apologized for what he characterized as jokes that went too far.
