Purple,

The Oldgringo didn't conceive the OP, he merely shared it; however, here's a poke at answering your two questions:

7. medical care and retirement and housing and franking and travel and any other side monetary benefits/allowances, etc.
8. speaking engagements & consulting contracts & board memberships, etc.

How's that for starters?

Thanks guys, but I'm not creative/smart enough to have created the list. It came to me from a former neighbor who is a UAB School of Business, Professor Emeritus, Ph. D., REPUBLICAN in Birmingham.

Dr. Bob may be the only REPUBLICAN educator I know. How many do you know?

This should apply to all aspects of congressional activities as well as our 2A RKBA.
