The United States Congress should not be paid for not working. There should be a minimum of hours each congressperson is present: in session; in their DC offices. Pay and benefits should be docked for absences.
Why is this important?
Every American should be given a vote on this petition.
Entire Congress takes too much time off and still receives pay and benefits. All members should have pay and benefits docked when not present in session a minimum of 24 hours each week and be present for all speeches.
Entire Congress must be present in their DC office at least 8 hours a week.
Congress should travel economy class, not business class or first class unless they pay the difference in price.
Congress should not be paid for campaigning.
