I had tremendous respect for Randy, until he ran for congress, until he won a seat, until he used his congressional seat for a 2 million+ dollar bribe and tax evasion, et al.
You can lobby for it. It's not super common but it does happen. It usually involves a bribe of copious amounts of high quality alcohol. Sad end for a 'legend' after an amazing military career. No one to blame but himself though.
