A no-philandering rule might clean out Congress
On Jan. 21, Ned van Buren wrote a Counterpoint, “What Washington needs is term limits.” Following that article, two young men responded positively and added their own suggestions. I want to also express my approval.
For example, unlike the Congress, I received no cost-of-living increase in my Social Security this year. But members of Congress wrote themselves a pay raise, even though there was no cost increase last year. I say, Shame on you all! You write a bill and then excuse yourselves from any effects you might suffer from it.
In addition to these gentlemen’s rules, I would like to add another:
Any congressman or senator would be dismissed from the Congress upon clear indication of philandering, whether with pages, staff or good friends.
My only fear with this rule is that we wouldn’t be able to raise a quorum in Washington.
