Default Expulsion for sedition?

In 1861, after the Civil War had broken out, eleven senators
(including former Vice President and Kentucky Senator John C.
Breckinridge) and three representatives (John Bullock Clark and John
William Reid of Missouri and Henry Cornelius Burnett of Kentucky) were
expelled from Congress for supporting the Confederacy.
Senators Trusten Polk, Waldo P. Johnson and Jesse D. Bright were
expelled in 1862 for the same reason.
I wonder if the Republican members of Congress who wanted to overturn
the election results in four states can be expelled for sedition.

Oh, if you are in the Bozo Bin, it is because you are only here to
insult or your posts lack wit or you are deadly dull, or a combination.
In Just-AN-Asshole's case, it is all three.
