The Congress
will first assemble the third Monday in January of every year. Members of Congress do not have to be present
at the Capitol Building in Washington DC to vote on bills, unless the Speaker
of the Congress deems it necessary. All
such debates will be televised for public viewing, so that citizens can be
equally informed as lawmakers on all the issues. All bills must be written by elected members
of Congress, not lobbyists. All bills
must deal with one issue only. Every
lawmaker must read every bill in its entirety.
The best
arguments for and against a bill must be expressed in writing from opposing political
parties, and they must be made available to the public at least two weeks
before there is a vote on a bill.
Citizens of a district may electronically register their vote on a
particular bill, and Federal Representatives should wisely consider input from
their constituents. The results of all
citizens input on every bill must be made public.
