Congress

When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they set up a two-house legislative branch called the United State Congress. It comprises the House of Representatives and the Senate. The members are elected by popular vote. Senators, two per each state and for six-year terms. The representatives are elected for only two-year terms.

Two become senator is a huge accomplishment. It is a respectable position and there are only one hundred of them. 

In my view, to become a representative is something for the small minds. They are elected for two year terms understanding not to get too comfortable. Their seats are up for grabs very frequently. To become a representative all they need is a little popularity to be able sell themselves withi their election district. But they have to do this every two year. The ones who have been serving for several periods were able to sell themselves to their constituents or the constituents just got bored and did not care. 

These reps. believe they represent the people. They are wrong. They only represent themselves and the highest bidder. To be a representative is a direct road to a cushy job once they are not in the Congress. To be a Republican or Democrat is no difference at all. It just reflects who sits in the White House.

These reps are running around beating their chests, like gorillas and scream I represent the American people. The difference is that gorillas can not be trained while these representatives are trained like circus animals. When Nancy says jump all they ask is how high? A perfect example is their behavior in that January 6 commission. Nancy Pelosi is obsessed with Donald Trump's presidency, and she will go to no end to discredit him. That is exactly what this January 6 commission is supposed to do.

To be continued.
