Members of Congress may be removed from office by a vote of Expulsion. The most recent member of Congress to be expelled was Jim Trafficant.
ILLINOIS — The U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution late Tuesday asking Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Donald Trump from office.
Here’s how Illinois’ U.S. representatives voted:
* Rep Bobby Rush, Democrat-Chicago: Yes
* Robin Kelly, Democrat-Matteson: Yes
* Marie Newman, Democrat-Western Springs: Yes
* Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, Democrat-Chicago: Yes
* Mike Quigley, Democrat-Chicago: Yes
* Sean Casten, Democrat-Downers Grove: Yes
* Danny K. Davis, Democrat-Chicago: Yes
* Raja Krishnamoorthi, Democrat-Schaumburg: Yes
* Jan Schakowsky, Democrat-Evanston: Yes
* Brad Schneider, Democrat-Deerfield: Yes
* Bill Foster, Democrat-Naperville: Yes
* Mike Bost, Republican-Murphysboro: No
* Rodney L. Davis, Republican-Taylorville: No
* Lauren Underwood, Democrat-Crystal Lake: Yes
* Mary Miller, Republican-Collinsville: No
* Adam Kinzinger, Republican-Channnahon: Yes
* Cheri Bustos, Democrat-East Moline: Yes
* Darin LaHood, Republican-Dunlap: No
The resolution — which passed 223-205, with Illinois Republican Adam Kinzinger the sole GOP member to vote for the measure — stated that Trump “widely advertised and broadly encouraged” protests that led to last week’s violence and insurrection at the Capitol building, according to a report from NPR. It urged Pence to invoke his powers to declare Trump unfit for office “immediately” and assume all powers and responsibility of the presidency.

Jim Jordan seems like too nice a person to wish that on him.
I'm not so sure the republican party can be saved...or is worth saving?
That was cold...I like it!!
The GOP always talks about what they want to do, but somehow it never gets done. Swalwell? They have zero gonads.
Yep we have always had so much faith in the LOSERS remember Trey Gowdey, Mia Love, LYIN RYAN, SO MANY brought in on the wave of the tea party ALL turned into swamp creatures!,,Republicans NEVER stick together NEVER!! They are DEAD TO ME!!
Good, maybe congress needs to implode from the inside out.
Let congress dig a hole so deep that they become so disgusting to the people that maybe it can be rebuilt.
Well hell yes, remove her fat butt tonight if not sooner. GOP better grow some nads and now.
Get rid of her.
Won’t happen...Kevin McCarthy will refuse to have vote.
This is what I think Trump and his team need to do.
Start going out across the country to every congressional district with the intention of officially endoring a MAGA Candidate for the 2022 House races, in some cases it may be the Incumbent, but the idea is to not split the opposition between 5 or 6 candidates, but to coalesce on one candidate, if that works, then the House will be Trump’s.
