Santos was also forced off whatever House committees he had joined a month into his term, which meant he was collecting a congressional paycheck to mostly wander onto the floor and try to get someone, anyone to talk to him. Eventually, after a couple of efforts, the House managed to vote to expel him, making him the third representative expelled from the house since the Civil War. Ironic, since Santos had led the Union to victory over the Confederacy in that conflict.

Santos's expulsion came after the federal indictment on the charges that have now landed him in a federal prison for the next seven years and three months, when the scandal finally became too much for even the Republicans to ignore.

Most importantly, we cannot forget that Santos was a comedy gold mine during what has been a very dark decade for America. For that, and also for his bravery in making the first solo manned spaceflight to Mars, we will eternally remember him.
