Can Pelosi conditionaly swear in a house member, then take the seat away?

No, the constitution is clear. If they expel a member, then a new election SHALL take place. Had they disputed the seating and not sworn in the member, then the other could be sworn in. Way they’ve don it, the state will have to hold a new election if they remove the now sitting house member.

Hadn’t thought of that. It would prove interesting and I think they’d have to call a new election but someone will challenge it so it will be tied up in the courts for a while.
