but keep praying the Rosary, God may be listening. Or not.

Neither the House nor the Senate can "expel" the POTUS individually(that's the impeachment process and good luck with that in the Senate), censure yes, expel no. Expulsion is reserved for their own policing of their own members.
And if I'm reading the links correctly, the 1990 case you cited as the last expulsion wasn't even an expulsion, just a censure, which led to him not running again. The last actual Senate expulsion I found was back in 1862 and again was not related to the POTUS.
But those still severely afflicted with TDS continue to lower their bar on "getting" Trump. It's actually fun to watch their hopes and dreams dashed on almost a daily basis.
