I’ll ask the same question I ask every presidential election. Who is making sure anyone currently serving in Congress and campaigning for the job of president or a House Member campaigning for the Senate is properly having their pay docked for the time missed on the job?
You’d think by now I’d give up but it’s always bugged me and I’ve never gotten any answers. There is a law:
2 US Code 39. National Taxpayers Union used to keep track of who owed us, the taxpayers money but I don’t know if they’re still keeping track. It applies to House members as well as Senators:
Federal law requires Members of Congress to forgo Congressional pay for days missed due to campaign appearances or other unexcused absences.
Why on earth doesn’t any member of Congress care enough about this to put an end to it? This year there aren’t as many current members taking time out to campaign as there has been in the past but even still, it needs to end.
Since Rubio’s record of not being at work and not voting has been discussed quite a bit this cycle, start with him and go from there making it retroactive. We can collect from John Edwards, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Joe Lieberman and a host of others.
Wonderful post. Rubio is a thief of public funds, not only for failing to do his job but also for charging thousands on his party credit card. I have no respect for this man . NONE!!~
Ted went back to DC to vote off the campaign trail.
Carson went home to wash his undies and Trump bloviated about how Cruz was a jerk and how that he only won because of ripping off gentle “stabby” Ben.
IF anyone USED Dr Carson it was The Donald
