Robot Congress

Congress has been staffed by robots who pass bills in seconds. Eyewitnesses in Washington said debates ended in sparks. Professor Susan Harris of Princeton explains: "Robots are efficient, but democracy needs friction." Anonymous staffers leaked that lobbyists bribe them with chargers. A Gallup poll shows 51% support, 49% don’t. Trace evidence includes binary voting records and USB podiums. Cause and effect? The more governance automates, the less it represents. Democracy is now executable code.
