Members of Congress can retire with the same pay & perks after only one term. They exempted themselves from many laws they have passed. The latest exemption was from Healthcare Reform.
There is no provision for Citizen’s Initiatives on the Federal level so this is long overdue and needs to come from source different from Congress. Congress won't kill their self-created parachute. If necessary, the citizens of the United States (or the 2/3rds majority of States vote) needs to be able to create an Amendment such as:
Twenty-eighth Amendment:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Congress, their families, their staffs or other government employees. Such Amendment shall become effective immediately upon ratification."
