Congresspeople claim to work 70-80 hour work weeks, but they're doing that CEO bullshit where they count things like personal phone calls, sitting at home on their couch while forcing a staffer to work, and time where they're in spaces that are accessible to the public. Senior level staff actually do work 70-80 hours during legislative sessions, which is where they're getting that number.

Congresspeople typically only work 3-4 days a week when they're in session and only work about 150 days per year. They also have no actual obligation to show up for floor votes and can just have a staffer submit their vote by proxy. The only reason that Daylights Savings Time bill passed in the Senate by unanimous consent in 2022 is because the majority of senators were not present during the vote.
