Where is it different in the Constitution? Article section and clause.

You didn't read my OP and you expect me to reply to this crap? Seriously?

C'mon man!

What you missed is that the U.S. Constitution does not fully embrace separation of powers. In the case of impeachments, and election returns, Congress has judicial powers, which it can use retroactively.

Article 1, section 5 clause 2 says it take a 2/3rds vote to expel a member. I can’t find where it says anything about removing a member with a simple majority. My Constitution doesn’t have a section 5 in article IV; it stops at section 4. Is the simple majority rule in that missing section? I think that wasn’t ratified, except maybe in your head.
