	United States Congress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Article I, Section 6, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits members of Congress from also holding a federal civil office, thus differentiating the U.S. from parliamentary systems where cabinet members are drawn from and continue to sit in the legislature.
		Congressional lobbyists are legally required to be registered in a central database, and are employed by political organizations, corporations, state governments, foreign governments, and numerous other groups.
		Thus, the President may veto legislation passed at the end of a congressional session simply by ignoring it; the maneuver is known as a pocket veto, and cannot be overridden by the adjourned Congress.

		While the retention of Maryland in the Union was indeed paramount to the Lincoln administration, and while the federal government did indeed intervene to ensure that secession did not occur in that state, the decision of the electorate of Maryland to secede was not a foregone conclusion.
		Maryland in 1865 may have seemed unrecognizable to the traveler who had not visited the state since the 1850s, but in many ways the changes which the state had undergone were based on social and economic changes which had already been taking place before the war.

		Congressional members campaign for our votes asking for more of our money to squander on media and then to put us into debt with over-priced programs they neither believe in nor support as long as it benefits their lobbyist friends; as long as they get shares, residuals, campaign money, or jobs for their relatives.
		Remember, it is because of Congressional and media shareholders through pharmaceutical lobbyists that we have extremely high medical costs supported by HMO's who don't pay medical professionals for services who then sue patients unknowingly thinking their insurance company paid those bills, that millions of people default on their mortgages and credit card debt.
		Then, in Congressional wisdom, they retroactively change statutes of limitations to ruin those who were effected by credit fraud and failures of government to pay their debt.
