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.

JudyOh, dude, to expel a member of the House or Senate, you need a two-thirds majority vote. That's like a super majority, you know? So, if you're thinking of kicking someone out, better make sure you've got the numbers on your side. Otherwise, it's just gonna be another day at the office for that politician.
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
