Maybe We Need National Elections for Congress

I’m getting confused…it seems the Congress of this United States is spending an inordinate amount of time micromanaging our warfighting.

1) They are not the Commander-in-Chief. The Constitution gave that job to the President.
2) But…they are Democrats (for the most part who are doping this and not the business of the nation) and maybe they are just following in the footsteps of LBJ and Jimmy carter by mucking with military operations at a detailed level.

I was thinking, since we pay the Congress out of Federal funds, and they like to tinker in the affairs of national security, maybe they all need to get the big thumbs up (or down) from all of the voters, so we citizens might have a say in who runs the nations foreign affairs.

Still just wonderin’ why I have to pay them, but they’d toss my letter/email/phone call to all but a few of their offices, since I’m not in their district….
