Should Ney and Cunningham continue to collect a government

paycheck for the rest of their lives? Right now they will do so because they both resigned instead of removed for cause..Is this how our tax dollars should be spent? :shrug:

4. Ney sort of resigned today,

Rep. Bob Ney's lawyer Mark Tuohey said in court this morning during his guilty plea hearing that Ney will not be resigning from Congress immediately -- but rather "in the next few weeks."

5. Any elected official who is convicted of a felony involving

misuse or abuse of his office should permanently lose his pension and all benefits. Sort of like a dishonorable discharge in the military.
