This, sir, is my great objection to the Constitution, that there is no true responsibility

Exactly. There's no enforcement clause for anything but treason.

Where is the “enforcement mechanism” in the Constitution for treason? Article 3 Section 3 defines treason and how one must be convicted of same, but not the “enforcement mechanism” other than the executive branch; and it’s left to Congress to define the punishment required.

PS. There are four federal laws that outline the mechanism for punishing violation of oaths/affirmations of office, listed here: http://foavc.org/01page/Articles/Violation%20of%20Oath%20of%20Office%20and%20Walker%20v%20Members%20of%20Congress.htm
