(2007-06-05) — A draft bill, making the rounds on Capitol Hill this week, borrows the idea of a point system from the proposed immigration reform bill and applies it to members of Congress to determine whether they may remain in office.
The immigration point system would grade those who wished to move to the U.S. according to their education, job skills, ability to speak and read English, and family ties with U.S. citizens.
The Congressional point system, however, would evaluate members of the House and Senate according to their stewardship of taxpayer dollars, commitment to enforce existing laws, actual results on the job, and their ability to use the English language to say what they mean and mean what they say.
Under the draft measure, roughly 93 percent of sitting members of Congress would fail to make the cut, and thus would face deportation from Washington D.C. to their home states.
Experts noted that a conference committee will reconcile the House and Senate versions of the legislation to eliminate any actual impact.
How many points would they have to earn in order to redeem them for being caught with a call girl? Driving drunk/on pills? Pinched for an illegal land deal? etc...
What about most creative ways of hiding bribe money? Like the $90k that was stuck in a freezer...
Now that’s cold hard cash!
