I'd bet that if one were to do a little research (which I am not going to do because I do not care enough about it), one would find that some crack-pot member of the
House of Reprehensibles from one party or the other (depending upon who is president) introduces something like this almost every year. It most likley gets shot down or ignored, and is then filed away in the Dead Legislation Office until some other crack-pot (or possibly the SAME crack-pot) reintroduces it in the next session.
But that's just a guess.
