 My mail box has been filling up the past
few weeks with something called a Congressional Reform Act of 2010 as "The
answer!"
-
- While I appreciate efforts by Americans to try and figure
out some way to stop the corruption in the Outlaw Congress, people have
to stop encouraging unconstitutional solutions.
-
- Here is what this proposed Act says:
-
- Congressional Reform Act of 2010
-
- 1. Term Limits.
-
- 12 years only, one of the possible options below.
-
- A. Two Six-year Senate terms
-
- B. Six Two-year House terms
-
- C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House
terms
-
- 2. No Tenure / No Pension.
-
- A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives
no pay when they are out of office.
-
- 3. Congress (past, present & future) participates
in Social Security.
-
- All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to
the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into
the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American
people.
-
- 4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just
as all Americans do.
-
- 5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
-
- 6. Congress loses their current health care system and
participates in the same health care system as the American people.
-
- 7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose
on the American people.
-
- 8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are
void effective 1/1/11.
-
- Item 1 is unconstitutional and will never survive a court
challenge. Congress has no authority to amend the U.S. Constitution without
a constitutional amendment. Back in 1994, 23 states passed term limits
for Congress. It
was correctly shot down by the U.S. Supreme Court:
