The novelty of legal concepts aside, if I were in Congress and I felt the President violated the civil liberties of American citizens and had a blatant disregard for the "rule of law", willfully and defiantly violated the law - I would not rest until he was removed from office and held accountable. But that is just me, the pit-bullish side of my personality.

On the other hand if I felt the letter of the law was broken in a manner that was immaterial to the spirit of the law, I would fix the problem and move on.

This is not a complicated issue in my view.
