All impeachment power under the constitution is invested in Congress. The House votes for articles of impeachment, which if passed the person is impeached. A subsequent trial takes place in the senate. If the person is found guilty there by 2/3 majority, he is removed from office.
Ya, ya, ya.
We already know all that.
I'm looking for alternatives
Congress finds it hard to get rid of one of their own for the very reason that "We The People" might once again regain power over them.
Give me alternatives, not the obvious methods that we and "Congress" are already aware of.

Of course, we could just ignore the Constitution completely, when it inconveniently doesn’t fit our agenda- then we’d be just like the Liberals...

What part of this don't you understand.

"We the people"... cannot impeach. What we can do is vote them out, or sit on a grand jury and indict them one by one.
An alternative (possibly dangerous) would be to move your state legislature to petition congress to call a constitutional convention. But once the convention is called, the delegates could do whatever they want.
