So many times, Congress passes a law that doesn’t apply to themselves, the Executive or Judiciary. Except where the Constitution protects the separation of powers, Congress shall make no law to exclude themselves or any government official or bureaucrat or employee. .
This is specifically to forbid things like insider trading by Congress and their staff members, a national healthcare or retirement system where Congress exempts themselves from Social Security. It should also be applied to free travel on government transport for non Official Business which for the rest of us would be considered income and taxed. There are so many perks that Congress gives itself that none of us knows the full extent. This MUST stop.
