Who's Watching the Watcher.....................

Why do we need Congress to be in session for as many days as they are.  The cry of some is that our legislators are "a do nothing Congress". I think the less they are seated and voting, the better off we would all be!  Also, why do we need so many politicians.  With all the cell phones and computers available to the public, we can text or e-mail our vote on, say, Obamacare.
