OP
It requires a 2/3 vote in the house. She obviously does not have 2/3.

Hard to talk about democracy and do stuff like that.
Besides, her hatefulness and ignorance help us.

I see your point n the Founders were far sighted..thankfully.

to the House Ethics committee, then there's an investigation. Expulsion rarely happens, and it's usually following a criminal conviction. I suppose Pelosi could start the process but she can't do it single-handedly.

I don't see why she hangs around, except to cause trouble and get attention.

We need her. The more people like her talk the more apolitical people will hopefully be prodded to get involved and get rid of feces like her. Don't hide them under a cover, cut on the lights, let them shine.
Republicans are guaranteed a good portion of the house if they ran as KKK Nazis, let the craziest of the bunch take those spots and use their own words, values against them.
