Nebraska Lawmakers Consider Historic Expulsion of Senator Accused of Inappropriate Conduct

He said he does not plan to resign, despite calls from Republican leaders, including Gov. Jim Pillen, for him to step down. McKeon said he expects any vote on expulsion to be close.

“It is what it is,” he said. “I’m not going to cry about it or anything.”

The Legislature’s Executive Board is scheduled to hold a hearing Monday on the expulsion resolution. If approved by the committee, the full Legislature could debate the measure as soon as Tuesday. Expulsion would require 33 votes.
