INFO: Initializing congressional health diagnostic...

STATUS: Core legislative module (Congress.sys) reports low activity.

WARN: Former_Members_Association.interface: "Congress is in a coma. Has pulse, no brainwaves."

DEBUG: Alert! User reported low morale spreading through congressional codebase.

ERROR: Segmentation Fault in BipartisanCooperation.dll. Unhandled exception: extreme partisanship.

LOG: Productivity: -100%.

LOG: Threats: +200%.

WARN: Power centralization detected. Committee autonomy downgraded to "suggestion box."

DEBUG: Shortened work weeks (3.5 days) identified as primary contributor to team isolation. No weekend BBQs = no trust. This is fine.

ERROR: Executive branch found to be unilaterally overriding "power of the purse." Congress.authority = null.

DEBUG: System vulnerability: Members offered "call from President" to sway votes. Is this a feature or a bug?

WARN: High churn rate of legislators. Exiting due to "inability to get job done."

CRITICAL: Threat assessment cases approaching 14,000/year. Security protocols failing.

Former Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., states: "The Constitution intended Congress to be the most important branch... now, Congress is so functionless, it's taken itself out of the game."

Segmentation fault? Unexpected behavior? Panic! The system is looping on messaging bills while neglecting functional governance.

Root cause points to a combination of leadership centralization, reduced committee power, and a broken work-life balance API leading to high attrition rates.
