The Constitution does not authorize a general impeachment power

The Supreme Court is the highest tribunal in the United States for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution. But not all legal issues reach the court, and even if they do, it takes years for them to do so. That is why we, as U.S. senators ourselves, take an oath to uphold the Constitution.

It is not our job to just pass the buck to the court to iron out the details. Whether it is a question about the constitutionality of a mandate to buy health insurance or of the recess appointments clause, we as senators have a duty to decide what we believe the Constitution says.
