No, the US Constitution does not say members of Congress can be impeached. Only "the President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States" can be impeached (Article I, Section 3). Members of Congress are not "civil Officers", they are elected representatives. Each house of Congress, according to the Constitution, can expel one of its own members by a two-thirds vote (Article I, Section 5), but that is not the same as the impeachment process (which requires the House to vote to impeach--bring the charges--and the Senate to try the case and vote on whether to convict).
