This has been called a Republican stunt, but even as a Democrat, I feel it is a good idea. People refer to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights so often that all Americans ought to read it. But even having lawmakers read it is a pretty good start.
Jim says:
I agree, the constitution is actually not hard to understand if you read it, and its shorter than you think. No excuse to call yourself American and not read it.
