Rep. John James (R-MI) is encouraging Congress to support four bills and resolutions to place additional accountability measures on leaders in Washington.
With Congress back in session, James is pushing his"D.C. Accountability Package," which seeks to increase checks on the executive branch, creates a mandatory retirement age for lawmakers, and sets new paycheck guidelines.James, who narrowly beat his Democratic opponent in 2022 and represents Michigan's 10th Congressional District, said his bills are a step toward pushing “government to function with the efficiency of the private sector” in a press release.
“In the real world, employees who don’t do their jobs don’t get paid; D.C. should be no different,” the press statement reads. The New Generation Resolution would create an amendment issuing term limits for senators and representatives to no more than 18 years. “The world isn’t getting slower; it’s getting faster,” James said. “The world isn’t getting safer; it’s getting more dangerous. That’s why it’s essential that our government, elected officials, and administrative offices are firing on all cylinders. As the former CEO of my family’s small business, I learned that if you don’t modernize, innovate, and stay competitive, you won’t keep up."
