The Government re-opens.....now what?

Hello all,

  At the 11th hour...quite literally, the Republicans sat with head in hands because they knew their chances at re-elections or future take overs in the House or Senate died with the closure.

  At best, systems are up and running and my VA claim for disability may actually move forward, albeit slowly, as the VA still has the same backlog before the closure.

  In the last three weeks I have seen so many post a photo of Amendment 28 and dreams of what may come.

  Since I can't find an official reference to the Amendment, I shall paraphrase. " Congress shall pass no law that applies to everyone except themselves ". Yadda yadda, etc, ad infinitum.

  It took Congress over 80 years to pass S.2038. In short, it prohibits members of our Legislature from profiting from Insider Trading. The full text follows in the hyperlink.

 If elected in 2016, I KNOW OF A WAY to make Amendment 28 a reality. It is really quite simple. An executive order. Except that Executive Orders can only be applied to Laws already in existence. 

  Here is where S.2038 comes into play. Since it is a Law that already limits what Legislators can do ( Insider Trading has been Illegal for a long time ), an Executive Order can be attached to not only limit their supposed powers, but make them like us. Even as far as requiring them to purchase their own Health Care and an addendum that prohibits Lobbyists from occupying any area within miles of our Capital. 

 Anyone with me yet? If not, I should hope so soon. The next Federal Election is in 2016 and I may be the only Candidate with the cojones to make this happen.

Let me know your thoughts or if you are certain that the Supreme Court could reverse this decision.

 Thanks all.
