Senators and congressmen cannot be recalled or impeached. This has been litigated in both federal court (Idaho, 1967) and state court (New Jersey, 2013).

You'll have to wait until he comes up for re-election unless the Grim Reaper collects him first.

There is no provision at all in the Constitution for anyone elected to a national office to be recalled. There should be.

There is provision for impeachment.
