Why are Congressional Resolutions so convoluted?

It's because they all get kick backs and special "gifts" from the special intrest groups for legislation that is probably not very popular. And besides who reads a whole bill anyways. So they hide their own little things in there to make the special interest groups happy so they can keep the money rolling in. This is not just Republicans or just Democrats, it is everybody in congress.

It is just a show of hand for pre impeachment posturing.

The House will Impeach but the Senate will not convect.

That's OK it still sends the message to future presidents to Shape UP

Cuz if they were short, people might read them, and then nobody would vote for them.

I'm thinking of the Patriot Act. Most of congress STILL hasn't read it, half a dozen years later.

As long as congress is more worried about the next election than the next generation, LOL!

It is politics. Pure and simple.

For your amusement, look up the definition of"statesman."You'll see what I mean.

those pork barrel items are what got enough votes to pass it. this is an old, old strategy.
