over 19 monthi ago. There has been
time since their election for issues
to bare died and new ones to be
born. The representatives ar no
longer "fresh from the, people."
Why not have a new congress as
semble on March 4, when an old one
expires, if the date of presidential
Inauguration is not changed? Then
there would be only four months be
tween election and service long
enough.
It does not need a constitutional
amendment to change the date of
the meeting of congress. Any con
gress can pass a law fixing whatever
date it pleases. Why Is not this ab
surd law changed? We can readily
imagine some reasons that appeal
to members of congress, but none of
them are such as appeal to the people.
