Can someone with more knowledge than me answer a question or two about impeachment?
After reading several websites listing
many apparent crimes that our "President"
has committed against the American people,
the thing I don't understand is this:

If actual crimes have been committed
and there is evidence exists to prove that
crimes have been committed, doesn't the ENTIRE
Congress have a fiduciary duty to the
country to attempt to impeach the President,
regardless of whether it "has the votes"
to accomplish the President's removal from office?

Even if their actions don't bring about
the President's removal from office, it
would at least show the world and our
children that such behavior IS NOT OK.

What is this saying to our children, much
less the rest of the world as our
representatives sit on their hands and
wait for somebody else to take action?
Each member of Congress takes an oath to
uphold the Constitution. Apparently, it
would seem they don't take their duty seriously.
Maybe the entire Congress should be impeached?

1. yes, they are failing in their sworn duties
and it's sending a horrible message.

I don't know if you can Impeach Congress... I think we just get to vote them out.
