So they're basically voting explicitly to void the Constitution.

Interesting tidbit there...

Clinton was impeached for perjury - specifically for lying under osth.

The thing is though that the "lying" part of it wasn't the actual crime. The "under oath" part is the actual crime. Perjury is actually the violation of a legally sworn oath, and it's just that the oath to tell the truth in a court is the one most often violated

But violaing an oath of office is also technically perjury, and a crime, and impeachable. And congresspeople swear oaths to, among other things, uphold the Constitution.

So that could be interesting if the Democrats demolish the Republicans in the midterms.

It likely won't be, since Congresspeople are pretty much universally corrupt cowards, but still...
