Being a leader or legislator should not be a perk, but an honor. Money corrupts, and friends in politics raises concerns. Congress should not be a career. Should have 4-6 year terms with no consecutive terms. No investing or trading while in office. You are in the position for the honor and betterment of America. Do what needs to be done without worrying about how it may affect reelection or your bottom dollar. Free Congress from the constraints of corruption and backroom deals. The only pay they should get is basic subsistence pay.
Congress (Senate and House) should only be allowed to serve two terms… consecutive or otherwise. They should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work.
Congress (past, present, & future) needs to participates in Social Security and not have a retirement fund.
Congress should not have a special health care system. They should participates in the same health care system as the American people.
