Can Congress Impeach Comey? Can Immunity Be Revoked For Any Reason?

Any Legal Eagles out there that know if Immunity can be removed for 'bad faith', perjury, etc etc etc?

That was the clause I made up which would create a gridlock for the Feds, not the States (A Senate could still vote for expansion despite gridlock/not a full representation of the States). By enumerating requirements for a vote/allowances concerning Federal expansion of agencies policies directly to the State Legislatures/Governors for passage would be harder to muster. A fractured Senate is exploitable (History/current conditions have shown this to be true) and the 17th took care of the "rest".

Negative rights hampers the Feds. The expansion of voting rights requires tougher "leashes" on what the government can and can't do. Unfortunately the bastardization in the context of the Constitution has led to the massive expansion of power. Voters along with the opinions of the Supreme Court, which exploited the flaws of the Constitution, and politicians that ran with "vote buying" schemes created the tyrannical and out-of-control agencies.

Inspired by ‘Brutus’ (Judge Robert Yates “allegedly”)

This government is to possess absolute and uncontroulable power, legislative, executive and judicial, with respect to every object to which it extends, for by the last clause of section 8th, article 1st, it is declared "that the Congress shall have power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution, in the government of the United States; or in any department or office thereof." And by the 6th article, it is declared "that this constitution, and the laws of the United States, which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and the treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution, or law of any state to the contrary notwithstanding." It appears from these articles that there is no need of any intervention of the state governments, between the Congress and the people, to execute any one power vested in the general government, and that the constitution and laws of every state are nullified and declared void, so far as they are or shall be inconsistent with this constitution, or the laws made in pursuance of it, or with treaties made under the authority of the United States.

The government then, so far as it extends, is a complete one, and not a confederation. It is as much one complete government as that of New-York or Massachusetts, has as absolute and perfect powers to make and execute all laws, to appoint officers, institute courts, declare offences, and annex penalties, with respect to every object to which it extends, as any other in the world. So far therefore as its powers reach, all ideas of confederation are given up and lost. It is true this government is limited to certain objects, or to speak more properly, some small degree of power is still left to the states, but a little attention to the powers vested in the general government, will convince every candid man, that if it is capable of being executed, all that is reserved for the individual states must very soon be annihilated, except so far as they are barely necessary to the organization of the general government. The powers of the general legislature extend to every case that is of the least importance — there is nothing valuable to human nature, nothing dear to freemen, but what is within its power. It has authority to make laws which will affect the lives, the liberty, and property of every man in the United States; nor can the constitution or laws of any state, in any way prevent or impede the full and complete execution of every power given.

Again, this happened before the 17th.
