We should not have a chaplain in the first place.

If congressmen and women want to meet up outside before the session on their own time with a chaplain who has voluteered their services for free and pray...power to them.

But using the publics time (and therefore the publics dollar) for their religious beliefs should not be allowed.

NOTE: Hope I posted in the right thread this time!
