resolved — $5,000 House Ethics fine for bypassing Capitol metal detectors
On May 19, 2021, Rep. Lloyd Smucker walked onto the U.S. House floor through the East Lobby without completing magnetometer screening, despite Capitol Police directing him to be screened; he completed screening only after voting. The House Ethics Committee imposed a $5,000 fine under the security-screening rule the House adopted in early 2021. Smucker appealed, but a majority of the committee did not agree to drop the fine. Smucker, along with Reps. Andrew Clyde and Louie Gohmert, sued House officials arguing the fines violated the 27th Amendment; the suit was dismissed and the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in April 2024, leaving the fine in place. Smucker remained in office.
