By your logic, if a congress didn't establish any new post offices or post roads, they would be in violation of the constitution. There are already post offices/roads in place, what if we didn't need any new ones? Must congress establish one just because it's their "constitutional duty" as laid out in Article 1, Section 8? Heaven forbid a congressman sign a pledge that states he won't build any new ones. That would just be treasonous.
If a congressman pledges to an outside entity that he will not do his constitutionally mandated duty then yes it is just what I assert. The pledge is the proof. Like I said either they denounce that pledge or they get booted out of congress for breaking their constitution oath.
