That is true. How do you get around it? You can't. But what they can change is the foundation system they have. Politicians can set up foundations that can take money from anyone and any amount. Put their wife or kid in charge of the foundation and they can be paid unlimited income from the foundation. Hell all it takes is some rich guy wanting a bill passed in the house to donate a few million into the foundation. This is a legal bribe and this has to be change. This is how congressmen get rich. It is wrong on all counts.
Also much like the President can't be charged with a crime while in office, Senate and House members cannot be arrested for crimes when Congress is in session. I do not have a problem with this. It would be real easy to have someone accuse and House member of a crime to keep them from voting because they are locked up. I understand that law.
Also the Speaker of the House does not have to be a member of Congress. Anyone can run for Speaker of the house. What needs to change is the Speaker should not be a member of Congress. Nancy gets two incomes. One for being a House Member and one for being Speaker of the House. Someone out side should run the house. I think it would run better and we probably wouldn't have half the bull **** that takes place, take place. I think there is a reason our founding fathers set it up for the speaker not to be a member of congress.
Just my opinion.
