If this guy thinks that Congressfolks are only “working” when Congress is actually in session, then I would suggest he is not working hard enough for his constituents.
They can do less harm that way...
This is the last thing that I want congress to do. They already think their job is continuously pass a mountain of new laws and let another mountain of new regulations take effect each day.
The rules should be changed as follows:
1. no agency can make any guideline, rule, regulation, etc effective with it being read in full in front of at least 90% of the congress, then amended, and then voted on.
2. no law can be passed without it being read in full with at least a 90% quorum during the entire reading.
3. when congress is in session - no aid or others are allowed on the floor to distract the congress critters. No cell or data connections allowed to the floor when in session so they can focus.
4. congress should be limited to 7 months in session per year. Five months where things can be passed and 2 months where the only actions allowed are to repeal existing laws, acts, regulations - no adds of any kind.
5. five months of the year they are to be gone - back home - and that time must be continuous.
