I voted for term limits.

But the biggest constraint, the most helpful thing for our republic would be if every bill had to address only a single issue.

Amen.

Amen.

Because right now we take thousands of votes, but there are post offices and non-binding resolutions and things like that to make it look like we're busy all year round.

But it usually boils down to two or three votes every year that are consequential, must pass pieces of legislation that have everything in them.

And that's the problem.

Let me give you an example on the big, beautiful bill.

By the way, there are maybe three or four sins, and I'll put that in air quotes, that I committed against the swamp that got me into this situation.

And one of those is I was the only Republican who didn't vote for Mike Johnson to be the speaker.

And we've had some bad ones.

Yes.

John Boehner, Paul Ryan.

Yeah.

Um, so I didn't vote for the speaker there twice, at least twice.

They brought up a continuing resolution of Joe Biden's budget.

And I'm like, wait, I thought we controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Why are we just going to keep going on autopilot with all the things Joe Biden did?

Yet they did, and I voted against those things.

And in fact, in one of those bills, they attached an amendment that had nothing to do with the budget to kill the hemp industry in Kentucky.
