With three members resigning over the last seven days, the House has matched its 1857 record for the most members quitting in a single week.
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., resigned today, joining former Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, in departing early as they all faced ethics investigations and calls to be expelled.
The last time three members of the House resigned in a single week was February 1857, according to an NBC News review of House records.
That year saw New York Congressmen William Gilbert, Orsamus Matteson and Francis Edwards resign as they all faced the threat of expulsion over corruption allegations involving their support of legislation in exchange for money.
