Article 1, section 5 clause 2 says it take a 2/3rds vote to expel a member.

That is after a trial in Congress. But fraud vitiates everything, putting the member in question at a state before they were sworn in, so a declaration by state Legislature of fraudulent election and quo warranto motion referencing the fraud should be sufficient. They don't have the authority to present themselves for induction into Congress. So Congress only needs to pass a resolution and ignore them until the election is corrected.

IANAL - I am not a lawyer. But we all need to be Constitution literate because our kids need to be able to read it as well. Note that the US Constitution is written in script, which is no longer being taught in schools. Thank you Dr Franklin!

You guys keep chanting “fraud vitiates everything” like it is a mantra, but we are in uncharted territory with these claims. Ultimately this is a political question with a SCOTUS that did everything they could to avoid the question and a House and Senate that are nominally controlled by Democrats who won’t give up any power willingly, and rightfully or not, the White House with all its levers of power, is controlled by Biden. Let’s not forget the much of the military’s leadership is good with this; the intelligence agencies, particularly the CIA and FBI are complicit in the fraud; and most bureaucrats in the government machine are sympathetic to the current power structure.

The only peaceful way to turn this around is if the states reassert their constitutional powers and take back control from the Feds. Solving the electoral integrity issues is one step in that. I really think the next step after that is an Article 5 convention of the states. The Presidency has too much power; that comes from Congress delegating too much to the executive; that comes from Congress assuming too much power and influence into the hands of too few people.

The 2020 elections are over but the truth can still sway hearts and minds of the people to our side.
