Actually, neither. They are sort of a third party but more closely aligned with the Republicans that the Democrats. I suppose one could call them ultraconservative Republicans.

Does the tea party have a constitution?

The "Tea Party" is not really a political party, in the same sense as the other parties (Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, etc). In any case political parties do not have "constitutions" (other than a claim to support the US Constitution), they have "Mission Statements" and "Core values" that define them. As such the Tea Parties website for such things is linked below.


How can the public remove all tea party republicans?

If you are a Democrat, you probably find so-called "Tea-Party Republicans" very extreme and too conservative in their policies, and you undoubtedly want them removed from congress. Since America is a democracy, and since the current group of Republicans in congress was voted into office in the 2010 mid-term elections (where members won their races in their particular states), the only way to remove them is to vote them out in the next election. For this to occur, it will take more than just frustration from Democrats who disagree with certain Republican policies. It will also take the votes of moderate Republicans who may regard the Tea Party faction as too ideologically rigid, and thus, not good for the future of the Republican Party. For now, whether you are a Democrat, a Republican or an independent, if you disagree with the Tea Party Republicans, you should express your views on talk shows and on blogs, and give your support (both financially and by volunteering) to candidates you feel will better represent your views. And in fairness, it should also be said that while some people are upset with the Tea Party Republicans, they also have many fans: in some states, especially in the southern United States, Tea Party Republicans remain very popular and could easily win another term in congress, if they decide to run again.

Why did the government shutdown in Fall of 2013 how was the situation resolved?

If you are referring to the US Government shutdown, there are a number of explanations, depending on which side of the political aisle you listen to. Republicans say the reason is congress (and especially Democrats) overspent on the budget and needed to cut back on some services in order to stabilize the budget; when Democrats refused to cut back on food stamps and other "entitlements," there was no choice but to shut down the government, since Democrats would not compromise. Republicans also say the President's Health Care Law needed to be repealed and many were angry that Mr. Obama refused to do that. On the other hand, Democrats believe the shutdown was caused by stubbornness and political theater by a small group of Tea Party Republicans who dislike government and wanted to find an excuse to shut it down. Democrats say they tried repeatedly to get budget negotiations going, but the Tea Party leaders refused to talk unless Obamacare was repealed. Democrats also believe these Republicans were determined to stop President Obama from having any success, and they were willing to shut down the government to make their point. (It should also be noted that most pollsters, and many members of congress who consider themselves moderates, believe the shutdown was both harmful and unnecessary; but the Tea Party Republicans insist it served a very useful purpose.)
