They had hip boots before A/C, shuffling through all the BS gets messy!

I read somewhere the reason the site for the District of Columbia was chosen was precisely because it was a swamp; miserable, hot, muggy place and the early founders figured no one in their right minds would want to be there to conduct the people's business any longer than absolutely necessary. Representatives and Senator were not suppose to be full time careers but basically part time employment and once the work was done they were to take their butts back home to their districts and go back to their real jobs. Somewhere along the trail we lost control of things and these people have elevated themselves to star status and made the jobs permanent. Probably around the same time AC was invented and installed in Government bldgs.

Just another example of the law of unintended consequences at work.
