    Congressional Reform Act

    The TRUMP Rules: Congressional Reform Act

    1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And no more perks go with them.

    2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

    3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do.

    4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise at the same rate as the COLA for monthly Social Security recipients minus 1% if having a budget balance deficit.

    5. Congress loses their current care system and participates in the same health care system (Medicare) as the American people.

    6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).

    7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The TV American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves.

    Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career.

    The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies. Term limits of 2 terms and treat them like a regular citizen!

      A grand Idea, But congress will never vote for it unless they are at the business end of a rifle. Same goes for term limits. They will never vote themselves out of a job that provides them money, power, and control.

          Unfortunately, you are 100% correct.

            Wish I was wrong. Sadly, this train is off the tracks and it ain't fixing itself.

              Great idea but none of them fuckers will ever kill the Golden Goose! Term limits could be imposed by voters, if they voted in an informed manner. Odds of that happening is about the same as congress voting for this.
              We aren't doomed, but damn near!
