Congressional Transparency Push Gains Steam | US News
Description
Lawmakers are being pushed to be more transparent when they’re out of commission, sparked by high-profile absences like Senator Mitch McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean Jr. A proposed “Duty of Transparency Act” would require members absent for three weeks to publicly disclose whether they can still work remotely, estimate their return date, and name a contact. The goal? To ease public frustration and keep constituents informed. Non-compliance could trigger ethics proceedings. Though the bill hasn’t been introduced, it’s a timely response to the growing demand for accountability in Congress.
