How do you get the foxes out of the henhouse if they can fight subpoenas? [View all]

I think it should be a rule that no Congress person should be able to serve as a lawmaker if they are fighting a subpoena that has to do with getting to the bottom of an attack on Congress.

It doesn't make sense to allow people who are possibly trying to overthrow our government to keep working in government.
