No. Members of the Senate and House of Representatives are removed from office through a different process involving only the chamber of Congress in which they work. Under Article I, Section 5, clause 2, of the US Constitution, a Senator or Representative may be expelled if there is a formal vote on a resolution agreed to by two-thirds of the members of the Senate or House body who are present.

Article I, Section 5, Clause 2

"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."

**The above is true when the member has not committed a crime. Members of Congress at any level (state or federal) can not be impeached, but if removed from Congress can be indicted for crimes like any other citizen.

The Constitution provides that a Senator or Representative may be removed from office by their own chamber of Congress by a two-thirds vote of the members present. Only the most serious offenses, such as treason or accepting bribes, are grounds for expulsion.

Article I, Section 5, Clause 2

"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."
