[Political Junkie Too]

Impeachment is a check and balance that Congress has on the other two branches. There is no check on Congress other than from criminal investigations from the Justice Department.

The Constitution says that each chamber of Congress is to judge the qualifications of its members, and it takes a 2/3rds vote to expel a member.

The veto IS the the check and balance on congress. Also two houses can lead to separate parties in power. Also the USSC can rule anew law unconstitutional.

You are incorrect about no other X&B on congress.

Also the house members serve for 2 years and face the electorate every two year.

Irrespective of the corruption we currently see, the system was well thought out.
