do away with former congressperson's benefits and salaries once they leave office

Created by S.S. on January 17, 2012

Congress has a provision that allows them to serve even one term and continue to get all pay and benefits as though they were still in office for the rest of their lives. This exists nowhere else and must be done away with for the sake of the American people. It encourages greed and graft through the Congress to continue even after they have discontinued government service.
