Rank-and-file members of the House and Senate, after they cease functioning as our elected representatives in Congress, will receive US$174,000 a year for the rest of their lives.
This salary is also paid to Senators and Representatives who seek to undermine the interests of the American people, undermine the dignity, honor, and integrity of the United States and her interests abroad, and lie to their constituents while fulfilling the agendas of private interest groups whose sole purpose is destroying the foundation of the United States and bring the American infrastructure to its knees.
Please end the lifetime salary for representatives who hold America hostage and compromise its functioning by causing government shutdowns, regardless of past and future service.
