"Does this rise to a level where impeachment is warranted?? ..."

Hmmmmm a President who will not VETO an obviously UNCONSTITUTIONAL piece of legislation.... In principle I would answer yes.. I think it would be a wake up call to remind our President and ALL our elected officials that they have taken an OATH to support and DEFEND the Constitution.....

Passing and signing unconstitutional law is not illegal. A politician can not go to jail for it. It's that seperation of powers thing -- ya know the Constitution.

I am not a lawyer, but violating your OATH to SUPPORT and DEFEND the constitution IS a crime worthy of impeachment... REMOVAL from office... not jail...
