They should fill it with hydrogen. It’s lighter than helium, and cheaper, too.

Hydrogen? Nein! That way lies the Hindenburg.
The only reason Germany filled them with hydrogen was that helium was unavailable in the quantities they needed.

I understand there’s a surplus of dirigible hydrogen at Lakehurst, New Jersey.

They should put Congress in a large box underneath it and just run a hose to the gasbag. That much hot air would keep anything afloat.
If you loaded the Congress critters at altitude, it would also be a great experiment: will hot air lift bovine excrement?
