No, a Congress can’t ban lobbying ~ it’s a 4th amendment right. Still, that’s no reason former Congressmen should be allowed to lobby ~ they could be crippled in some way as they left office, or shipped to Gitmo ~

A long time ago in what is not Zimbabawe, the king was chosen for a fixed term - during that time he could do and have pretty much anything. When his term expired he was - with much fanfare and rejoicing - put to death.

Just saying, not proposing.

Keep the Constitution. To keep them from lobbying, try them all for treason. Put me on THAT jury.
