Simple law:
If you are in Congress and want to pass a pork project, you need to get it into a bill BEFORE the election and get it voted on.
If you want to 'shield the Congress' from disclosing it's records -- same thing.
That way the electorate can vote your sorry ass out.
No spending bills after the FIRST vote is cast in any election (until the new Congress is seated) -- and nothing that benefits or protects Congress in any way.
Am I missing anything?
How does this solve any problems. You basically hamstring the government for months in election years which both parties will use that time for BS.
Your point? That's what they did now lol
