Second, I propose a companion bill, the "Senator Professionalism Assurance Act" be submitted side by side with the bill concerning pilots. In it,
Senators will be subject to continuous voice recording at all times while they are at work, and those recordings should be downloaded to discipline or discharge a senator . . . for actions that endanger the safety or well being of the citizens of the United States.
Further, these recordings of Senators at work will be downloaded for the broader purpose of evaluating or monitoring the judgment or performance of an individual Senator.
I am sure Senator DeMint will have no problem submitting BOTH bills for passage concurrently.

There was a president that did that. He only got in trouble for 18 missing minutes. Go figure.
(for the non middle aged, it was President Nixon)
