Elected officials are a different beast in government work and the staffers that work directly for them are also treated differently from an HR perspective than the rank and file bureaucrat. The political positions like that carry a much different air to them and this is why I feel like the way things are treated within those offices should be different than we see with regular employers.

While they are public employees, each lawmaker is essentially an employer, not merely a manager or supervisor, when it comes to their office. Because of this autonomy, I feel like if something happens within their offices it is they, and not the Congressional budget, that should take the hit.

Something along those lines...
