“The people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation... it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.” --James A. Garfield

Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people.
Thomas Jefferson
This should not even be a bill, it should be an amendment to the Constitution itself
