To expel a member, two thirds of the House or Senate must agree to the removal.
Colorado has a 35 member Senate and a 65 member House of Representatives.
It has a 100 member House of Delegates and 40 members in the Senate.
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
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.
In congress, there are two branches: the House of Representatives and the Senate. A Senator is a member of the senate. A congressman is referring that he/she is part of either the House or the Senate.
