All congresspeople — in fact all elected positions — are by definition at-will.

No, they have a defined two or six year contract. They can't be fired outside of that.

But realistically I was talking about the hits to pension plans. If that's only civil service employees then that means once again Congress passes laws that don't apply to them.

I am pretty sure there are unseating/impeachment provisions for all federal positions except, I think, SCOTUS.

I know California has the recall for all elected positions (thanks, Hiram Johnson), but as for the rest, the “at will” part is the election.
