How many U.S. senators have been expelled from Congress? The expulsion of all but one of the senators on this ignominious list came in 1861 and 1862 for supporting the Confederate rebellion.
Hint: William K. Sebastian’s expulsion was posthumously reversed in 1877, but you should still count him for purposes of this question.
