The Congress will then cast a simple up or down vote - there would be no amendments, no back scratching, or no logrolling. And a good place to start is in the nomination and confirmation process. The President and the Senate have a joint responsibility. The President must be prompt in submitting his nominations, and the Senate prompt in acting on them. I submit within 60 days.
Public service is an honorable calling.
I view it as an honorable calling, and there are many now serving in Washington or in Tennessee who view it that way as well, but their voices are easily drowned out by the din of battle.
