Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The United States Congress is the latest American Institution to announce that it is moving its headquarters abroad.

The announcement came just hours after the fastfood giant Burger King said it was moving its corporate headquarters to Canada. BK joins the growing list of American companies exiting the U.S. while maintaining business operations in the country — all for the sake of paying less taxes and employing cheaper labor.

Congress will move the Capitol to Switzerland.

Speaker John Boehner said the move will free senators and congressmen from public scrutiny, media criticism and lobbying while allowing the honorable men and women of Congress to do some serious work.  The current Congress has earned the reputation as a “do-nothing” Congress.

Legislative aides, interns and contractual personnel were all excited after hearing the news of their transfer to Switzerland. “I love Swiss cheese and chocolates,” exclaimed an aide to Representative Michele Bachmann. “Wow, now I can finally realize my long-time dream of going to work in kilts,” said another.

There is, however, one group that is not happy about the move – the Capitol police. Boehner disclosed that the new U.S. Congress building which will be overlooking the Swiss Alps, will be employing Swiss guards.
