No, he was not. For intentionally lying to the Congressional Ethics Committee about the funding of two projects and whether they would violate federal law, Congress gave him the second most severe punishment they could, including a reprimand and a $300,000 fine. But with Congress controlled by Republicans for the first time in 40 years, not a single Republican would vote to expel him even though many of them later said that they felt he should have been expelled. However, he did lose his job as Speaker of the House, and subsequently, under pressure from his colleagues, he resigned from the House in 1999.
