If Congressional "gas emissions" were mandated by law to be lit (such gasses ARE combustible-- just ask anyone who has spent any time at all in a male college dormitory room), the BTU's gained from such combustion could help cancel some of the loss of BTU's from the open windows.
You know, kind of like those "carbon credits" help fight Glow Bull Worming!!!
BTW, don't just laugh at this-- it makes as much sense as some of the stuff that Congress ACTUALLY tries to legislate and force the rest of us to do!!!!!

"While the bill passed mostly along party lines, only a small group of Republicans really raised a stink over the legislation, saying the wording unfairly targets overweight congressmen. However, Democrats were quick to point out that the biggest offender over the past two decades has actually been one of their own.
"He wasn't a congressman per se, but you knew when Bill Clinton had had one of them Big Macs for lunch," said Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD). "If you ever had to meet with him in the Oval Office, you'd pray it was a nice day and he had the windows open, or just had a salad.
"I don't know how that Lewinsky girl could spend any time under his desk like she did," Hoyer added."

It's my understanding that Ms Pelosi was given immunity because she claimed she'd never had gas and even if she did it would have a nice fragrance.

Harry Reid, Kennedy and Schumer were not given the same consideration, however. Their cushions could not pass muster.
No Republicans requested immunity.
