Should politicians be required by law to read the bill themselves before signing them? This is pretty much a simple yes or no question.
I say yes they should they themselves read the bills before signing them,not hire a speed reader and not higher someone else to read the bill. I didn't vote for a speed reader or some staff members to do the job of someone who is supposed to be our employees.
Personally I also think those who author amendments and bills should be forced to read out loud word for word what they author in front of a tv camera and then explain in front of a tv camera in laymans terms not rat lawyer speak what the bill or amendment does and why we need it. This would cut down on the bills the size of encyclopedias because I am sure no one wants to sit there for several days to read out loud a several hundred or couple thousand page bill.
