makes ineligible for future elected or appointed office those who are in a sitting Congress when the gov't shuts down.

Created by H.M. on September 30, 2013

Legislators take the future of our country in their hands when they play brinksmanship like this, and it puts our country and its people at great risk. There's never any consequences to the individuals which put our Nation in this difficult situation. This request aims to change that by declaring ineligible for further Federal elected or appointed office any legislator who is sitting when a government shutdown is created by the failure to create adequate funding to support ongoing operations.
