Can a congress hold congressional power if they previously violated a bunch of constitutional and congressional laws?
I believe in that case, their intrinsic power is moot. Their ability to mandate constitutional amendments are negated by the above action.
Much in the same way as Gov Newsom violating CA constitution, yet mandating laws beyond his power. On contest, the violation of those laws will not be able to stand.
