The public loses every time.

When Republicans practice brinkmanship learned from the leaders of North Korea, the public always loses and Wall Street wins. Think about it.

In a time when elections are run with 95 percent use of an elected officials time, their real job is postponed and it is convenient for brinkmanship. There needs to be a law that monitors the amount of time elected officials spend in campaigning after their election. Such a law can be adapted to requirements under state or local election laws.

Call it "The Clock In - Clock Out Law." 

Mr. Rubio would have a difficult time justifying his re-election. Noted: Senator Bernie Sanders is within the Senate Chamber for every vote that I have noted. It is possible to hold campaign rallies and be responsible to constituents.

The salaries of federal elected officials is significant paid for by Americans. It demands a higher degree of participation than FIVE percent of their time.

I suggest included in the "Clock In - Clock Out" law a reduction in annual salaries for the amount of paid time not accrued in representation time as owned to the electorate. 

NO WORK - NO PAY 

Such a law does not have to be a federal law to apply to federal representatives. The and local authorities are responsible for filing deadlines and what that encompasses.
