B) where it is in the Constitution he's not supposed to represent his constituency by passing along requests for the government's ear

Are your seriously suggesting that it is okay to do everything NOT listed in the Constitution?

No I am not. But people that seriously suggest a Representative's job is not to represent his constituents must believe the Constitution outlines a role for the Representative, other than to rubberstamp the administration's actions.

On second thought, what does the 10th Amendment say? Although I realize early Republicans most of all hated that Amendment and did all they could to destroy.
