RESOLUTION
Be it resolved that the “Accountable Representation Act” is hereby proposed to promote accountability, transparency, and responsible governance in the United States Congress.
Committee s are like one that makes me mad as hell, we watched over the last few years all the committees, all the investigations of people as well problem, with out any resolution, to me this is a wast of tax payers money as well the governments time.
If all these committee are just doing the investigations to make us the people happy it was not the time, yes at first we all was happy that finally some noticed and started a committee to investigate, for the first year a lot of information came out, that gave us hope that this would be over soon, nope another year of investigate that something, then another year, to this day I have not heard of any resolution but a lot of information showing crimes wrongdoings deceiving treason you name it just about everything came out and yet still no resolution.
That’s been a wast of time and money not end result so if there going to be committees there needs to have a time limit or when a major criminal act has been found out, then it goes to prosecuting, if no major criminal act found but wrong doing them consequences follows all this should some kind of time limit for the resolution and. To be drug on for years like now all the investigations going on, there one end result for instance the hunter biding case where there something about court but nothing after that, this sweeping stuff under the rug has to stop, where is there accountability for what they did wrong if it’s swept under rug for who they are or public embarrassment, the only saying if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime.
So either abolish committees all together or demand a result after a time period
Perhaps failure to prosecute known crimes could be considered aiding and abbetting, making anyone in a position of responsibility and power accessories to those crimes.
