Congress revises Electoral Count Act that Trump used to pressure Pence on Jan. 6The 117th Congress in its final days revised the antiquated 1887 Electoral Count Act that caused chaos when this current slate of lawmakers were sworn in nearly two years ago. Pushed through the must-pass spending bill, senators and representatives have made clear a vice president does not have the power to overturn a presidential election. (USA Today)
UMMMMMM…so, one tiny step, one tiny step which should have been attended to once this nation had been attacked by the rotten machinations of Richard Nixon. But as is the case for way too many ailments that afflict this nation, its democracy, and its citizens, the Congress usually reacts with Hindsight, rather than acts with Insight!
YA WANNA TALK real changes CONGRESS?
Let us begin with Term Limits, as in how many years is one too many for you’ all to retain your positions as American Royalty? When term limits are found in presidential and semi-presidential systems they act as a method of curbing the potential for monopoly, where a leader effectively becomes "president for life". This is intended to protect a republic from becoming a de facto dictatorship. OKAY, so how is this CONCEPT not appropriate for Senators? Their monopoly is considerable, and mostly p[profitable for them and their Patron Puppet Masters! Gerrymandered Districts, fuck the Supreme Court playing their part as Activist Judges, and find the backbone and courage, Congress in dismantling your rigged districts!
And when will we finally stop the game of PAY TO PLAY, in which PACS and Billionaires spend money to purchase their Political Puppets a job, insuring that the good of the people is less of a priority than the WANTS of the Puppet Masters!
