3. Here's the challenge.
Congress routinely does work via committees and subcommittees with both democrats and republicans. They hold hearings, debate, and send legislation to the main body of the House for a vote. This is constitutional.

The Super Congress is a variation of the committees. The way I understand it is that it recommends and the House votes on its recommendations. It may be unconstitutional if it had the power to vote and enact legislation without participation of the full membership.
