I’ll add impeachment. There was a Senator who was impeached and removed from office back in the 1800s.

Presidents are impeached by the house of representatives and then convicted by the senate.

Senators are expelled. Different terminology in the constitution.

Once practical difference between impeaching a president and expelling a senator is that impeachment requires both the house and senate, while expulsion only involves the particular chamber the thug is to be ousted from.
