On December 13, a motion calling for disciplinary action against HOSHI was passed by a vote of 185 yea to 92 nay, approved by 67 % which exceeded two-thirds votes required for expelling him from the parliament and therefore, HOSHI lost his seat in the House, automatically losing his position as chairman as well.
そこで12月13日に懲罰にかけられて185対92で除名要件である三分の二を超える67％の賛成を得たため、除名処分となり、衆議院議員の資格を失った星は自動的に議長を解任された。
