Staffers should be hired on a contractual basis. Begin on the date the elected official begins his term of office and ends when he is replaced.
They will be subject to the same rules as lobbyists. We ask more of our military and pay them less.
And how are these hiring laws Constitutional?
And what if I wasn’t hired by a Congressman but was hired by “Bob Adams Consulting” and brought in “for free” to work on a piece of legislation?
That’s what many do already. Many “staffers” that I speak of don’t “work” for any Congressman. They are outside the official system, yet wield large amounts of power.
Term limits will just give them more power.
