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.

Well, friend, in the House of Representatives, it takes a simple majority vote to expel a member, which means at least 218 out of the 435 representatives need to vote in favor. In the Senate, it's a bit tougher, requiring a two-thirds majority vote, which means 67 out of the 100 senators need to agree to expel a member. It's all about working together and making important decisions as a group.
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.
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.
