Make Congress WORK
Members of the US Senate and the US House of Representatives, being employees of the people and the federal government, must work a standard, federal work schedule, with two weeks' vacation per year and all federal holidays as their only days available to not be in session. Any member of the federal congress or senate will be suspended five days per absence beyond their scheduled vacation; such suspended members must stay in session with other members, but will not be allowed to vote during their suspension.
Why is this important?
Congress is not working, literally. Nothing gets done not only because of the idea of "gridlock," but also because legislators never have to get together to work things out. Make legislators "normal" federal employees, with two weeks of vacation per year, all federal holidays, and that is it. By being forced to be physically with the opposition, legislators will find common ground.
