# Plain Language Summary of H. RES. 328

This resolution is a proposal to remove Representative Maxine Waters from her position on the House Committee on Financial Services. The Committee on Financial Services is an important congressional committee that oversees banking, insurance, and financial regulations that affect everyday Americans. If this resolution passed, Waters would lose her seat on this committee and her ability to influence these financial policies.

The resolution was introduced in April 2021 by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, and it claims that Waters engaged in conduct that violated House rules requiring members to behave in ways that reflect creditably on Congress. Specifically, the resolution accuses Waters of inciting violence. However, the resolution itself doesn't provide details about what specific statements or actions led to this accusation. The resolution was referred to the House Ethics Committee, which is responsible for investigating misconduct by members of Congress.

For most Americans, the practical impact of this resolution depends on whether it actually passes. If it does, Waters would lose her committee assignment, which would reduce her influence over financial policy decisions. If it doesn't pass, nothing changes and Waters remains on the committee. The resolution became part of a broader pattern of members from different parties attempting to remove their political opponents from committees, which has become more common in recent years. Whether this particular resolution succeeds would depend on a vote by the full House of Representatives.

To remove Maxine Waters from the Committee on Financial Services for inciting violence against the United States.
