" A member of the Republican Leadership shall step aside if indicted for a felony for which a sentence of two or more years imprisonment may be imposed.”
The entire purpose is so that the SOH isn't sitting in prison, when they need to, you know, be doing SOH stuff. Whatever that stuff actually is, who knows. Congress works less than any group I have ever seen. It wouldn't make much sense for them to elect a SOH who could potentially be going to prison. They'll just have to do it all over again.
These aren't laws. They're just rules Republicans have come up with. They can just ignore them if they want to. It's not like the Republican Party is known for their upstanding behavior and spotless ethics.
