  Article I, Section 5, clause 2 provides that each house of Congress ``may determine the Rules of its Proceedings.'' Fourteenth Amendment, Section 5 provides Congress the power ``to enforce'' the substantive guarantees of the amendment, including the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, by enacting ``appropriate legislation.'' The Supreme Court has recognized that, under Section 5, Congress may both proscribe unconstitutional conduct, as well as enact legislation that remedies and deters violations of rights guaranteed under the Fourteenth Amendment.
