Article I, Section 5 of the US Constitution requires that 2/3 of the members must vote in favor in order to expel a member. Since there are currently 100 US Senators, 67 would need to vote in favor in order to expel a Senator.
It requires a two-thirds vote of that house.
The people of the state vote for the senate members.
Members of Congress can't be impeached, but they may be removed from office prior to the end of their term as explained in Article I, Section 5, clause 2, of the US Constitution."Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member."A Member of Congress may be expelled from the Senate or from the House of Representatives if there is a formal vote on a resolution agreed to by two-thirds of the members of the appropriate body who are present.
That depends on what they've done that should be held accountable. If they've violated that particular house's code of conduct, the other Congressmen can expel him (though that stuff is always kept within their own house. The Senate cannot vote to expel a Representative, and vice versa).
popular vote
A member of congress can be expelled from that house by a simple majority vote of the full house. Each house is responsible for its own members.Thus, for the US House of Representatives, a majority vote of its members can expel one of their own.ONLY the House in question can expel one of its members. No other means can be used.
The US Senate has 100 members - 2 from each state- and all of them have one vote each.
Yes. The US Senate can, by a 2/3 vote, expel a Senator. However, this has only occurred once aside from the Civil War expulsions of 14 senators. The exception was the first ever case, a treason charge against William Blount in 1797. Four other senators, however, have resigned rather than be expelled: Joseph Burton (Kansas) in 1906 Truman Newberry (Michigan) in 1922 Harrison Williams (New Jersey) in 1982 Robert Packwood (Oregon) in 1995
