Because if the answer is "congress does," then welcome to how things are now.

If the answer is anyone else, consider how this would affect the independence of Congress and separation of powers.

How about, when members of Congress appear on news programs, the network can put up a little stat block that shows attendance rates, vote %, etc? Kinda like athletes.

Then we could set up Fantasy Congress leagues.
