“Torrent of senators call for Menendez to resign — and one floats expulsion”

Politico, on the fallout from Senator Menendez’s conviction yesterday on charges of bribery and acting as a foreign agent:

After decades in public service, the longtime New Jersey Democrat is left with a pending sentence and a doomed reelection bid. Shortly after a jury read off the verdict that he was guilty on all counts, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer ended months of resistance and called on Menendez to resign, joining more than half of Senate Democrats who have already done so. And at least one of Democratic senator [Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.)] is openly considering expulsion.
