What a legend

What a legend | In 1982, Gregory Watson wrote a paper in his college class advocating why congress should not elect a salary for themselves until after the election of representatives.  His professor failed the paper, saying the idea was ridiculous.  Instead of giving up, Gregory started a national campaign to amend the constitution to insert this law.  And Gregory succeeded.  It stands today as the 27th amendment. THE PROFESSOR | image tagged in perhaps i treated you too harshly,constitution,funny,memes | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
