The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on Thursday to censure Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman of New York, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for falsely pulling a fire alarm in a Capitol Hill office building. The resolution was introduced by Republican Representative Lisa McClain of Michigan, and if it passes, Bowman will become the third Democratic House member to be admonished this year. The vote will be a test of the House's ability to handle a difficult situation, and will be an important moment in the House's history regardless of the outcome.
