There must be an iron clad rule that bills can not be written to include

impeached for vote buying. That will get rid of the scum that keeps
getting voted back into office.

I will agree to that provided you agree that we make defense contractors
not-for-profit enterprises.

Nope. National defense is one of the few things the Federal government
is supposed to spend money on. The Federal Government is charged with
providing for the common defense.

The Fed's are not supposed to be dolling money out to this or that state
through this or that agency, bureau, commission, or bill. The Fed can
spend money on border defense, the armed services, interstate commerce
and that's about it.

Congress people should be impeached for any vote deal making period.
Congress people should recluse themselves on any bill that enriches any
of their constituents.
