The U.S. Congress takes nearly 4 months of vacation, and I'd be thrilled if they took more. What's the old adage - "the worst thing that happened to Washington was air conditioning," because it allowed legislators to stay in session during the steamy summer months they had previously taken off. At this point, I think central heating is a liability as well. Think about life without heat OR air conditioning: Congress would only meet from March-May and September - November, and the rest of the time we'd be left alone to fix our own problems.
