I thought we had already been over this. In this thread.
The number of days in session on the hill does not reflect the number of days they work. Congress members make frequent trips to their home districts and while in town regularly meet with constituents (or lobbyists) work in informal ad-hoc groups, and do plenty else to stay busy. If your vision is that they work three of four days a week and take the rest off then I'm afraid you are mistaken. Any move to increase the time spent on the hill would in fact be counterproductive.
Oh. Errrr on second thought. Let's make them work 6-Days a week on the hill.
