Unfortunately, it doesn't matter to the DEMS whether or not its constitutional, they will push till they get what they want.  Who is stopping them?

Cruz says Congress shouldn't pass legislation to protect special counsel

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said he doesn't think Congress should pass legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller, telling "Face the Nation" on Sunday an earlier bill to shield Mueller from removal was "unconstitutional."

Some of Cruz' Republican colleagues are pushing legislation to protect Mueller and his investigation after President Trump ousted former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and replaced him with Matt Whitaker as acting attorney general. Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona has introduced legislation along with Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Connecticut to keep the president from firing Mueller.

Asked by moderator Margaret Brennan whether there should be legislation to protect the special counsel, Cruz responded, "No, I don't believe there should.".......

Cruz is absolutely right as always.  Legislation to protect Mueller?  Ridiculous.
Against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain.
