I don't know that they "guarantee" a damned thing. The rules have to be adopted, and there's no guarantee that will happen.

That's how I read it, too. I don't know where the term "get the shaft" originated, but I think we're getting it.

I've come across a few different 'origins' of the phrase but nothing definitive. Some say it comes from Europe in the Middle Ages when being buried vertically (because you couldn't afford a standard grave) was considered a slight. Others say it comes from a reference to a penis.

Thanks for doing the research. I think the penis one applies to Congress.
