Expulsion from Congressional seats

[Stinky The Clown]

Much talk lately about expulsion from the House for a variety of reasons. Masks. Guns. Participation in the Capitol invasion.

In the Senate, even Joe Manchin has suggested he favors the expulsion of Hawley and Cruz.

My question; Can this be done? If so, how?

1. Yes, if the votes are there

Wikipedia:

Expulsion is the most serious form of disciplinary action that can be taken against a Member of Congress.[1] The United States Constitution (Article I, Section 5, Clause 2) provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member." The processes for expulsion differ somewhat between the House of Representatives and the Senate.[2][clarification needed]

Censure, a less severe form of disciplinary action, is an official sanction of a member. It does not remove a member from office.

2. Requires 2/3 vote, however disqualification via 14th amendment only needs majority

But can be filibustered in senate. Disqualification may not remove a member, but would definitely prevent them for running for re-election or higher office.

4. The 14th Amendment is what I recommend for the seditionists.

That's what it's for. Now, do the democrats have the stomach for it? I think not.

We're always getting shit on, and then we sit there and take it. We need to start fighting (pushing without letting up) for what we believe in. If not, who else is going to know what we hold most dear?

3. It can but it won't

Challenging vote this time around was insane, but the constitution allows it. Did Hawley and Cruz speak at the protest and incite them? If yes, that's another story.
