The Tennessee House of Representatives has decided the fate of three Democratic lawmakers, one week after they broke several House decorum rules and protested for gun control measures.

Representative Justin Pearson has been expelled following a 69-26 vote.

Representative Justin Jones has been expelled also, and….

Representative Gloria Johnson remains, the motion to expel Johnson failed with a vote of 65-30…one vote shy of its passage.

What happens now….The expelled legislator’s home county commission may appoint someone to fill their seat in the interim until their term is expired.
