RESOLVED, That the Citizens of the United States of America call upon the Supreme Court to pass and send for ratification a constitutional amendment to reform the responsibilities and remuneration of members of Congress; and to clarify that:

For every time a Member abstains from voting, their weekly salary shall be withheld and;

For every time a Member holds the economic prosperity of the nation hostage by refusing to cast a vote or filibustering a bill such Member’s monthly salary, benefits and donations should be withheld and deposited into the Social Security fund.

And

Members must work in Congress an equal amount of days as any American worker, that is a minimum of 5 days a week with 20 days vacation as a maximum.
