Your passage "CONGRESSMAN CANNOT BE CIVIL OFFICERS" nowhere appears in the Section. Stop making shit up..It says CONGRESSMAN CANNOT BE CIVIL OFFICERS.
Do you understand basic English?
Section 6: Rights and Disabilities of Members
The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States.They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.
Your theory that members of Congress cannot be impeached would certainly have come as a surprise to members of the House of Representatives in 1797, who in fact impeached William Blount. HERE is the evidence.
Stop making shit up.
