Both Houses of Congress have the express constitutional power to remove members from office.
"Article I, Section 5, Clause 2: Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member [emphasis added]."

Speaker Pelosi is allegedly helping to finance Democratic reelection campaigns. So House majority Democrats, possibly disgruntled with misguided Pelosi, are nevertheless probably not wanting to risk losing campaign funding by getting rid of Pelosi. Such a scenario defeats the purpose of the expel clause if such is the case imo.
"Its not just that Nancy Pelosi raises money for her political caucus, its that Nancy Pelosi uses that money as a political weapon against anyone who would potentially vote against impeachment," Gaetz said." Rep. Gaetz Claims He Heard Democratic 'Threats' on the House Floor
"It was the only "quid pro quo" Gaetz said he observed throughout the impeachment process."
Also, since Pelosi arguably tried to appease Iran because of recent military action by PDJT, PDJT allegedly refusing to share sensitive information with Democrats because of possible security risk, she should get booted from Congress under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment imo.
14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof [emphases added]. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
Corrections, insights welcome.
