About half of the paid lobbyists in Washington are former government staff members or former
members of Congress. Why would interest groups employ such people? Why might some
reformers want to limit the ability of interest groups to employ them? On what basis might an
interest group argue that such limits are unconstitutional? In 75 to 150 words only.
Solution
Interest groups may be the authentic voice of weaker or oppressed groups in society that do not
have the means or standing to organize as interest groups. Social movements are often the first
expression of latent discontent with the existing system. A former member of Congress can offer
invaluable assistance when an interest group seeks to affect lawmaking. Without them these
groups would have less influence on administrative rulemaking and on legislation.
Some reformers have argued that interest groups gain improper influence by hiring former
government employees. Hence they say, such hiring should not merely be restricted but should
be banned altogether. If this were to happen, interest groups that frequently hire former
employees should be less effective.
