Forgive, me but I'm not too knowlegable about British parliamentary procedures.

What if the Congress had the power to pass a motion of no confidence for the executive branch? And if so, then could the executive branch could hold a special election?

I know that in theory, articles of impeachment are similar to this but are long and drawn out. And that if this were to happen, rival political parties could and would aggresively use it.

There are plenty of opportunites in the 1800s (John Quincy Adam's corrupt bargain, the nullification crisis, Tyler's assuming the presidency, problems over the Bleeding Kansas affair)

So would it be possible for this happen if the Founding Fathers put it in the Constitution?
