Start the opposition campaign early and vote them out.
Incumbant senators are incredibly difficult to remove from office, unless charged with wrong-doing.

There are only two legal ways to remove a US Senator (or US Representative) from office.
1) The ballot box.
2) For a senator: The US Senate votes to expel that member from the Senate. When that happens, they are removed from their senate seat and then the state law applies on how the seat is filled until the next general election.
2) For a Representative: The House of Representatives votes to expel them from the House, and then they are removed from office. Generally, a special election is held in their district to fill the seat.
The ballot box is probably the easiest way. The second option is so rare its almost non-existent, but those are the only legal methods of removing a member of congress.

No..you wait until the election or...you must hope that the house of representatives finds for the articles of impeachment against him and the senate votes to remove him if he committed a crime. There is no recall process for national elected figures...that is only a state by state thing in only a few states such as California....just be prepared to vote.

What US Senator do you wanted removed from office?
It would be highly unlikely to revoke an elected Senator from office.
That person would have had to of committed a heinous crime - Treason, Murder etc. for that to EVER happen.

Invoke the Logan Act and convict the 47 Republican Senators of High Crimes and impeach them!

You can wait til the next election and vote for someone else.
If your state allows it, you could initiate a recall. Call your state election bureau to find out if they allow it.
