Amendment 20 of The Bill of Rights states:

"Section 2. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3d day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day".

It has been reported that our Congress has met only 218 times ("days") this year. We at the RE-Constitution Project suggest that a new Amendment be made which states: The Congress shall assemble every weekday of every week of the year, except for the week between December 25th and January 1st. Being Federal employees Congress is exempt from meeting on Federal holidays.

Amendment 22 states that:

"Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term".

Because of the lack of oversight witnessed (i.e., the Foley and Hastert scandal, etc.) and the excessive absences of this session of Congress, we at the Project propose the following new Amendment:

"No person shall be elected to the office of United States Congress more than twice, and no person who has held the same office, or acted in the same capacity, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected to a Congressionsal seat shall be elected to the office(s) of Congress more than once".
