In the United States Congress, a two-thirds majority vote is required for the expulsion of a member from either the House of Representatives or the Senate. For a conviction in an impeachment trial, a two-thirds majority of the Senate is also necessary. This high threshold ensures that expulsion and conviction are not taken lightly and require broad bipartisan support.
