How about we just go down to DC and make a citizens arrest?
What....You want them to use real numbers. With no budget, they can cook the books any way they want.
Even if they could be, who would do it???
Boner ????
I believe it is up to the voters of respective state(s) to recall their respective member(s) of the Senate.
Pretty sure the HoR as a legislative body is "locked out" of intruding on proceedings in the Senate.

That said....
If they really wanted to shine the light on "the real problem"...

Some aggressive moves in the arena of public opinion bia the blogosphere and new media outlets would at least turn up the heat!

The political answer to your question is that the voters can "impeach" their own Senators and Representatives every November.
The house of representatives has absolutely no power whatsoever to charge, try or remove any member of the other legislative body.
7 Retiring Dems
16 up for re-election
Replace half of these guys with Republicans and you won’t have to worry about Senate “leadership”!
10 more Conservatives would also send Mitch a message and possibly get him replaced with somebody stronger.
Who is going to impeach them, they all belong to the same party, Dems & Pubs alike. The Ivy League Lawyer Incumbency Party.
Nope.
The House can impeach anyone. The problem is that the dem-controlled Senate won’t convict a Dem.
That’s why 0bama is still in the WH. It would be Bill Clinton all over again.
Bottom line is that it’s up to the electorate to populate the Congress (both House and Senate) with enough conservatives to render the current scenario moot.
We cannot be focused on any given personality (Pelosi, Reid, et al) since it is the ideology of the party in power that determines who will be the “face” of that party. If Reid were to be voted out, and the party were to remain in the majority, another ideologue as bad as Reid (or worse) would become the new face.
