And periodically, they should be required to post on their website a summary of what actions they have taken, and how they have voted, in furtherance of the wishes of their constituency. The only shoe leather most of them burn up any more is when they walk around to various lobbyist's offices asking for handouts, and when they attend social functions, eat free food, and drink free alcohol.
