Does Congress get drug tested.

[domwilson]

A question was asked of me, Does congress have to go thru mandatory drug testing?

[m4a1usr]

The short answer is no they are not required by LAW to be tested or screened for drug useage. There have been petitions brought forward by groups of citizens and even the sports culture, whom Congress took to task a few years back about Steriods remember? But there is nothing forcing them to be tested. Periodicly or randomly. Now when it comes to their staff, well.........lets just say the Congress has all the control over them they would not impose upon themselves. The good ole boy club at its best.

Same thing with their salary raises... they have to approve their own raise... isn't that wonderful?!

I've supported and signed those petitions. Pee in a jar before every vote. If drugs or alcohol show up, your vote doesn't count. 3 "Positives" and you're out on the street with NO retirement benefits, a "regular" citizen like the rest of the Sheeple.

As for salary increases, retirement benefits, Social Security contributions; I think their employers (that would be us) should make those decisions, not the members of Congress (our employees).

I think if we did drug test them, we would eliminate half the pork laden legislation that they dream up.

I like... LUI (Legislating Under the Influence) or LWI... (Legislating While Intoxicated)

[domwilson]

Well we've be letting them get away with VWOAC (Voting While Old And Crusty) VWS (Voting While Senile) so what else is new. Can you think of any job that has so much importance and affects so many people that gets so many free passess to act anyway the employee wants? Even football players have some kind of restraint.

[domwilson]

To me, it just makes sense to drug test them. They are in positions that affect people's lives, and require attention to detail.

Now thats the truth. I wonder how much taxpayer money they are going to get from the hill in this years budget!

Air Force fighter pilots are allowed to take stimulants (Amphetamine) before a sorte to help make their senses quicker and sharper. I am sure some politicians do the same before a speech.
