Impeach Officials Who Do Not Do Their Duty as Public Office Holders

Day 2 Still at it!
Lazy Politicians

I am unsure how long this is been going on in American politics, but however long it needs to stop. What am I wanting stopped? Not showing up for your duty as a public official. Today the Indiana General Assembly tried to convene for legislative business; but do to the 40 democratic members refusing to show up this was impossible. According to the Indiana Constitution 67 members have to be present to have a quorum without a quorum legislative business cannot be conducted.

Now in case you’re wondering why I am so mad about this it’s not because I want the bill to be passed I have no preference that matters in this context, and it’s not that the one’s doing it are democrats, it is simply because my tax dollars are paying for you to do nothing. We as residents of Indiana pay for your food, hotel stay, traveling money, and salary therefore I expect you to do something to earn it.

Now besides all that you took an oath to uphold the State constitution and if you feel that a bill being presented doesn’t follow along with what you feel the people want then fight. Fight in the chambers of the Statehouse, fight by rally your grass root members, and fight by showing up and debating. Your constituents didn’t vote for you to go to the State capital and sit and not do anything; they voted for you to do your job and that is to legislate. My view is if you’re not going to do the job you were elected for then we should remove you from that job.

Now this may sound harsh but this isn’t the first time this has happened. Last year around this time the democratic caucus in the Indiana General Assembly fled to Illinois over the same bill. That’s right instead of fighting in the chambers they ran to a neighboring state. In my eyes you have breach your constitutional duties in which you swore to uphold.

I did not mention the bill this is all about. I did this in the hopes that the reader could be unbiased to the cause of why they are doing this lazy act. The link above titled “Lazy Politicians” will connect you to the news page in which the bill is mentioned.
