The Constitution provides that a Senator or Representative may be removed from office by their own chamber of Congress by a two-thirds vote of the members present. Only the most serious offenses, such as treason or accepting bribes, are grounds for expulsion.

Article I, Section 5, Clause 2

"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."
