Article II, section 4 states:
"The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

A serious misconduct by a member of Congress that may lead to removal from office is committing a crime. If a member of Congress is convicted of a felony offense, such as bribery, perjury, or fraud, they can face expulsion from their position via a vote in their respective chamber. However, each chamber of Congress has the power to establish its own rules and procedures for disciplining its members.
The President of the United States has the power to remove officials from office if he sees them as derelict in their duties in some way, but the action must be approved by Congress if the official does not simply resign. Judges on the Supreme Court, members of the Cabinet, the Vice President, and members of Congress cannot be removed by the President but he may ask them to resign.
In March 1867, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act, which prohibited the president from removing government officials, including members of his own cabinet, without the Senate's approval.
