Speaker 0: Here's how I would fix how fucked up the United States Congress is with 5 simple rules. The first rule obviously being term limits. The people in congress should be just like the president. They are only allowed to serve 2 terms, then they can make way for someone else who has something else to say. Rule number 2, congressmen and women are paid the median salary of the state they represent.
The congressmen or woman wants to make more money, they need to take action to raise the median salary of the people in their state. This will immediately guarantee that they understand the people they represent. And I know people are gonna say that would be hard to do because they have to go back and forth between Washington and their state. That leads me to rule number 3. No more traveling to Washington and also no overseas travel paid by the taxpayer.
Now how will we accomplish this? Easy. We all know what fucking Zoom is. It is 2024. There is no fucking reason for our representatives to be traveling to Washington.
There is no reason they have to meet in the same fucking room. You just install big ass iPads on each chair, and they can talk it out over Zoom. It's fucking insane that we are paying for our representatives to travel all the way across the country just to fucking vote. All we need is big ass iPads, secure push button voting technology, and video conferencing technology. Three things we already have.
As for the overseas travel, there is zero fucking reason for a representative from Idaho to have to go to Paris on official business. They are not foreign dignitaries, are not part of some international peace corps. They are representatives of their state, so they need to stay in their fucking state. If they wanna go overseas on vacation, that's fine. They can pay for it themselves.
But there's absolutely no fucking reason taxpayers should be footing the bill for representatives or senators to fly overseas. Now without them traveling all over the place, that's gonna free up a lot of time, and that'll lead into rule number 4, which is single issue bills only. Any bill that's submitted to be voted on can only be about 1 single issue. There is no fucking reason a veterans benefit bill should have anything unrelated to veterans in it. It should be putting up one issue at a time, voting on one issue at a time, and passing or not passing one bill at a time.
Want more money for Ukraine? Put up a bill that is just the Ukraine funding. Don't combine it with some bill giving benefits to old people to try to make everyone feel bad and vote yes. If a bill or an issue can't pass on its own merits, then it doesn't need to be passed. And lastly, rule number 5.
Anytime a member of congress speaks to the media or the American people, it is automatically assumed that they are under oath and can be charged with perjury for lying to the American people. And if through a jury of their peers, preferably, that jury should also be made up of the residents of state they represent, they will be immediately removed from office. And that's it. Five rules to unfuck congress.
