INTENTIONALLY VAGUE STANDARD: The Senate's ethics committee must judge Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, on whether he exhibited "improper conduct which may reflect upon the Senate."

CIRCUMSTANCES: Craig was arrested June 11 in a Minneapolis airport bathroom after an undercover officer observed conduct that, he said, was "often used by persons communicating a desire to engage in sexual conduct."

POSSIBLE ACTIONS: Craig could face a censure resolution or even expulsion, a decision for the full Senate.
