- SEN RICK SCOTT: Americans work five days a week, why can’t the Senate?
The U.S. Senate has convened only 79 days (40% of the year) so far, failing to pass legislation on election security, inflation, spending, or shutdown prevention. Senator Rick Scott criticizes the Senate's limited work schedule, which includes fewer than 10 weekly votes and minimal Friday or weekend sessions, and calls for increased productivity to match the American work ethic.
