Well, let's see.
Studds' conduct was unknown to the leadership at the time -- and Nancy Pelosi wasn't a member of Congress until 4 years after his censure.
His appointment to chair the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries wasn't what most would call a significant "leadership" position.
The page was of legal age under state law (and a willing participant) when the incident took place, so no law had been broken. Even if it had been illegal under the law, the statute of limitations had long run out -- the incident took place in 1973, while it was only exposed in 1983 -- so there was no other option than a censure.
Studds kept his seat until his retirement in 1997, so his constituents were obviously not all that upset with what happened. Interesting in that his district had been a long time Republican stronghold until his election in 1972.
