Since I started voting, I cannot remember a time when public confidence in Congress was much over twenty percent. Back in the day when car dealers were of questionable repute, Congress was always ranked below car dealers by consumers. In July 2022, the approval rating of Congress is seven percent. That creates a massively giant elephant-in-the room question. Why do American voters keep hiring (electing) people in Congress, who are not doing a satisfactory job? In America we fire unsatisfactory employees we don’t keep them on the payroll.
There is no simple answer to this question. Primarily, there is a phenomena where too many people think their personal Representative and Senators are just fine. It is everyone else’s Representative and Senators who are the bad guys. So, my guys/gals are not rotten; it’s your guys/gals in Congress who are rotten.

on the US Constitution.
