I warned you earlier NOT to try to argue Constitutional items because you know not what you type.
“IMHO, all these Congressmen and women should be Impeached ”

Members of Congress are not subject to impeachment,

Article I, section 5 of the United States Constitution provides that “Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.
Way back in 1798 the Senate ruled that its members are not subject to Impeachment, but could only be expelled. At the time they were debating holding an impeachment trial for a member who had already been expelled.
