US congress and Innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent?

This is just food for though. This would never happen, because of how corrupt congress as a whole is. Both major parties wouldn't allow it!

Innocent until proven guilty is supposed to be the normal procedure.

It is understandable for most judicial procedures throughout the nation to be that way.

It's in fact apart of the 5th, 6th and 14th amendments.

Yet I wonder if it should be applied to the law makers themselves. They are supposed to be held to a much higher standard because they are the ones creating the laws themselves.

They most certainly are not common people because of this. They are the law makers and can undo any laws that may effect themselves.

It's similar to congress giving themselves pay raises which is a controversial issue by itself. Both parties do it. Is it right? 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is why I wonder if federal Congress members should be held to the same standards as the average citizens.

They can create the laws as well as can undo the same laws. And therefore must be held to higher standards than the average citizens.

Is it justice when there is doubt about criminal activities? Why must they, above all others, be considered innocent before being guilty?

I just don't consider law makers as common people. They should be held to higher standards then the average citizen. Not given dispensation because they are congress members.

Once again, this is just food for though. I know this would never pass as any constitutional amendments.

In fact it's laughable of ever happening! 😆
