    He wouldn’t need to be impeached, Senators can be expelled on a 2/3 vote in the Senate and the House doesn’t need to be involved.

    If Schumer scheduled that vote this week, I think he would be toast.

      Oh, well that’s the same votes needed though. I just looked up if a senator can be impeached, and apparently one had, so maybe the house could start one if they wanted to? but since he’s a senator it wouldn’t be required. If they have the votes and feel that strongly about it though they should do it then. Have a backbone, take a vote and everyone lives with the fallout from it instead of this vague threatening “requesting resignation” B.S.
