The current senators would need to be impeached and then convicted for those seats to be vacated, which will never happen. I fully understand the fantasies of those that just think these things can be done without following the Constitution. The usual response is those elections were stolen, so they can be removed. Again, there is nothing in the Constitution addressing stolen elections, so we are left with impeachment and conviction. That's it.

Perhaps if the media will allow exposure that reveals the truth, then the senator could resign from voter pressure - that could work.

What about approaching it from the stand point of a Coup’...after all they did gather the military to DC after they instigated the violence at the Capital and after they stole the election via fraud voting.

Members of Congress are not subject to impeachment.

There is no provision in our Constitution for impeachment, (or recall,) of Congress Critters.

They can only be removed by a vote of members in their respective house. Figure the odds of any Congress Critter voting to remove one of their own.

I haven’t read any legal analysis of what the states can do regarding fraudulent election of their congressional delegation. I would think there might be other recourse than impeachment, resignation, or term expiration at the statehouse level. But I honestly don’t have a clue.

John Adams said it well: “ Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

As did James Madison: “…[our Constitution requires] sufficient virtue among men for self-government,” otherwise, “nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another.”
