None. Members of Congress (Senators and Representatives) can't be impeached. They can be expelled by their own house, but only if they commit a very serious offense (like treason or accepting bribes) and two-thirds of the Senate (or House) votes for expulsion.

Willliam Blount, a Democratic-Republican Senator from Tennessee, was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1798. The Senate, however, dismissed the charges for lack of jurisdiction. The Senate did expel him for treason. Since then, no member of congress has been impeached, with congress relying on its internal expulsion process instead. The question of whether or not a member of congress is "A Civil Officer of the United States", and thus subject to possible impeachment under the US Constitution, has not been settled.
