What's to be done?

Oh my god.  Does anyone else see a horrible hole in logic there?  What do we do when our congressmen and women are the ones responsible for obstruction of justice and committing crimes against constituents?  Is there seriously no force in our system that can hold our congress accountable for high crimes against the state?  It is possible to recall senators and representatives before the end of their term but it requires a resolution by two thirds or the respective body of congress.  This means, that in our constitution, the only course for removing a bad congress (considered in our constitution article I section 5 clause 2) is for congress to vote to remove members they feel deserve expulsion.

That is sinister.

If we "the people" hire them, why can't we "the people" fire them?
