On Sunday, the Harlem democrat appeared on CNN to reiterate that he is ready to move on.
Rangel said on 'State of the Union', "I hope that my overzealousness - whether it's for education, for health care, to get people back to work - that I follow the rules, don't make mistakes and get on with my life and try to make life better for so many others."
Rangel received a standing ovation during a town hall meeting at a Harlem hospital on Saturday.
Last week, he was censured after the House found he had failed to pay taxes on a vacation villa, filed misleading financial disclosure forms and improperly solicited donations for a college center.
