WASHINGTON– In an astonishing display of ambition, Congressional Republicans have introduced a demanding new proposal to force lawmakers into a relentless 7-day work-year schedule, a move they describe as a “monumental sacrifice for the nation.”<\/p>\n

During a press conference to discuss the fatiguing new work schedule, House Speaker Mike Johnson hailed the bold new 7-day work-year as a win for the American people being that Congress only presently works five days a year.<\/p>\n

“It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it,” groaned Mike Johnson, visibly fatigued from the mere thought of working a full week annually. “In an effort to get more accomplished, Republicans have proposed increasing our normal 5-day work-year to seven. Maybe this way we’ll be able to get President Trump’s agenda passed by at least the year 2550. I guess this will finally put to rest the notion that Congress is lazy and always on vacation.”<\/p>\n

Democrats have slammed the proposal, claiming Republicans<\/a> are playing partisan politics because there’s no way any Democrats will be able to work a full seven days a year.<\/p>\n

Mike Johnson then ended the press conference by saying the proposal was headed to the committee to be voted on once everyone returns to Congress in 155-days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
