I’m starting to think that there should be a clause within law that any holder of public office should be penalized in a much more severe manner for any breach of the law.
I’m talking “death penalty as a minimum sentence for corruption” levels of “not fucking around.”
Really make it clear that you do not misbehave if you are an elected official.
The issue is, we already see how the IRS was abused by the POTUS to hurt enemies of the establishment, there’s a real risk of it just becoming an excuse to purge the government of opposition.
Still doesn’t stop me from mulling it over.
Or, a limit on public office. Of any kind and have it be cumulative. You were mayor of a small town for 6 years but now you want to run for president? Well, if you get it, you only have enough time on your ticket for one term.
At the end of that 10 years, you’re barred from any public office.
Alternatively, to run for president or congress, you must never have held a previous office. And the term limit is 4 years.
Term limits on all Federal Elected Officials should have been a thing -yesterday-.
Yeah, how about no retirement benefits for public officials? Or a reverse pension plan for military officers? Retire at twenty years gets half your pay for life, taxable, hit forty years and fuck you you’re dick deep in the military-industrial complex; if you don’t have a retirement plan by then take a one bullet retirement. Or just no retirement for officers. Fuck them.
Preferably after I make a batshit run for office to bullshit around for two years then retire to live out that sweet federal pension.
