The House of Representatives effectively censured outgoing President Theodore Roosevelt by adopting a committee report critical of him. On the same day, the Senate voted to have the Judiciary Committee investigate him for wrongdoing during the Panic of 1907.
It didn't help that in his annual message to Congress, he'd states that there were "criminals in the legislative branch".
Sometimes it just helps to know that Congress has being doing dumb stuff pretty much the entire time it's existed.
