Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) temporarily steps down from Chairman's seat

Charlie Rangel (D-NY), under the pressure of the ethics committee, has asked Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi for  leave of absence from his post as House Ways & Means Chairman.

He has taxes problems,  involving some of his properties, and " possibility  for accepting corporate money for trips to Caribbean conferences in violation of House rules."

____________________________________________________________

I say this.  If Rangel is found innocent- he should be reinstated as Chairman.

However, if Rangel is guilty of wrong doing.  He should not lose his Chairmanship - He should lose his job and step down and be asked to  leave the House.
