No politician should ever vote for a bill they have not read and understood. It would do a world of good if just once one of these bills included the following in bolded size 52 font:
"Any congressperson who votes to ratify this bill is guilty of a felony with a mandatory penalty of five years in prison."
Any congressperson who failed to read this but voted for it anyway would serve as a valuable cautionary tale for their peers to actually do their fucking jobs.
I like this idea. Similar to the "we require one bowl of green M&Ms to be left in the green room" to make sure that the venue has actually read and followed the instructions that (IIRC) Van Halen gave them.
