I petition that members of Congress and/or the Presidency anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.
*No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
*Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
*Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
*Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%
