How can they vote on a bill they haven’t read and the President doesn’t know what is in it but says you must vote for it.

If the Republicans ever get back into power they should pass a law that requires that all persons, Senate or House voting in favor of a bill must sign that they have read fully the document they are voting for. This should have the full penalty of law such that if proven they didn't read it they would be dismissed from government service and loose their pensions and benefits.

After all they have passed similar laws that CEOs have to sign that they have read all the companies financial documents, why shouldn't they have to do the same? And the CEOs are threatened with jail time and confiscation of assets, not just getting canned.

At least they won't have the excuse that they didn't know what they are signing, and it would reduce the number of 10,000 page boondoggles that are rushed through the congress at 3:am. I know it would take them all year just to get through the budget. But heck the less congress does the better off the nation is in the long run.

Brilliant idea, and anyone running who wants to win will run on this.

What makes you think your average Congresscritter can read? Isn’t that what they hire staff to do? If Congressman Schmuck’s legislative aide has read the bill, will that count enough to keep the critter out of jail? Just askin’

NOT only that....but Republican’s should demand ALL CONGRESS CRITTERS have to live under the LAWS THEY MAKE! ALL OF THEM! No “separate” benefits/laws for THEM.
