Navajo Nation Council speaker Seth Damon is facing disciplinary action for being intoxicated during a family vacation in Las Vegas.
A bill introduced Friday in the council would place Damon on leave without pay indefinitely.
The council can take action on it after a five-day public comment period ends. Damon heads the tribe's legislative branch.
He's running unopposed for a seat on the Tribal Council on Nov. 8.
Damon says he was on a private vacation in Las Vegas with his family in October when a photo was taken of him slumped in front of a gambling machine.
Damon informed the council that he was intoxicated and says he accepts responsibility for the incident.
