Rep. Blum Backs Constitutional Amendment To Prevent Congress For Being Exempt From Federal Law

Statement

This week Congressman Rod Blum signed on as an original co-sponsor of the bipartisan H.J. Res 89, a constitutional amendment authored by Congressman Ron DeSantis (R-FL), which would establish equal application on Congress the laws that apply to all citizens of the United States.

"Everyday Americans are tired of the Washington, DC political class living by a different set of rules than the American people must," said Congressman Blum. "I believe that enacting this common sense constitutional amendment would be a step in the right direction towards cleaning up Washington."

"Passing laws that apply to the American people but that exempt Congress is inconsistent with the ideals of a republican form of government," said Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla. "Those who serve in Washington should be part of a service culture, not part of a ruling class that lives under its own set of rules."
