Summary
Under the United States Constitution and congressional practice, Members of Congress may have
their services ended prior to the normal expiration of their constitutionally established terms of
office by their resignation or death, or by action of the house of Congress in which they are a
Member by way of an expulsion, or by a finding that in accepting a subsequent incompatible
public office, the Member would be deemed to have vacated his congressional seat.
Under Article I, Section 5, clause 2, of the Constitution, a Member of Congress may be removed
from office before the normal expiration of his or her constitutional term by an expulsion from
the Senate (if a Senator) or from the House of Representatives (if a Representative) upon a formal
vote on a resolution agreed to by two-thirds of the Members of that body present and voting.
Do note “....present and voting.”
