The Roman senate was originally established by Romulus (Rome's founder and first king) when he founded Rome. He selected 100 pater familias (fathers of the family/heads of the household) form the leading clans of Rome of the time to sit in a council of elders (senate comes from the word senex which means old man). This was the advisory body of the king. In the Republican period the senate continued to be an advisory body. During the Early Republic the patricians (the descendants of the original pater familias) monopolised the seats of the senate. Later, the rich plebeians were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy and gained access to the senate. At this point the senate was composed of former senior officers of state and of people enrolled by the censor, an officer of state who kept the roll of senators and could appoint new senators or expel current senators. His decisions were based on appropriate stats, merit, and a code of conduct. Later still, Lucius Cornelius Sulla doubled the size of the senate, made former junior officer of state eligible for a seat in the senate and increased their numbers, so that all senators were former officers of state.

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.

A 2/3 Vote Is Needed.
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.
None. A senator or congressmen cannot be expelled since they were elected by the people for the people. If the controversy is big enough the Senator or congressmen will resign. If a member was expelled then the views of the people from that area would not be expressed. So the people themselves have the right to remove people from office when election rolls around. Ok, so why is it that in order to expel a senator form the Senate, two thirds of the Senate must agree? They can expel, but only with a two thirds vote, setting a very high requirement for a senator to be expelled because, like the previous answer the guy wrote, they were elected for the people by the people, and setting a low requirement by easily expelling a senator, would just indicate that the views of the people from that state area would not be expressed. There is an expel requirement, and you can see that in Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2 of the Constitution
Representatives and Delegates serve for two-year terms, while the Resident Commissioner serves for four years. The Constitution permits the House to expel a member with a two-thirds vote.
