For those that don't know, it is the job of the House to bring impeachment to those deserving at the Federal level. To date, in terms of impeachment there have been only 19 impeachments in our history -- 2 presidents, 1 senator, 1 Secretary of War (1876) and 15 federal judges.
That is it! Imagine, all the corruption over the years, Ted Kennedy letting a women drown to death in his car, Charlie Rangel with mountains of ethics violations, Biden pimping his power to enrich his children, etc., that is it.
Obviously the system does not function properly. Additionally, notice there is no one from the House that has been impeached. In other words, the House will never impeach itself, a definite flaw in the Constitution.
So what to do? I propose that the Article V movement move to make a Constitutional amendment to enable another governing body to impeach those in the House. Additionally, we need to ramp up impeachment to help thwartt the rampant lawlessness we see at the Federal level.
I would also love for the states to pass a Constitutional amendment to limit terms for those in Congress. Congress limited the terms for the President due to king FDR and his rampant corruption after he refused to leave office after 2 years, but can't seem fit to do the same to themselves. Obviously, no one would limit their own power, so only through the Article V can this be done through the states.
It has never been done, but it needs to happen!
