How to stop impasses

Here is an idea to prevent future political impasses, such as government shutdowns and budgetary impasses.

To reach a settlement a compromise is needed. Too much time is spent on brinkmanship, stubbornness and arrogance. All that is needed to prevent future dysfunction is a simple law to be passed.

If agreement cannot be reached to avoid a government shutdown, then all legislators involved are not eligible to run for their position in the next election. After, all they failed to do their job. I guarantee this will solve the problem.

Really they also should not be paid during these shutdowns just on principle. However, pay does not matter to most of these politicos.
