    Make federal investigation in to any potential wrongdoing a retirement for holding any rejected federal office. Staff an entire branch of the government who’s only job it is to investigate elected officials.

      The FBI used to hold sting operations for corrupt elected officials. They had to stop because they found like 70% of them to be corrupt.

      i assume… “requirement” and “elected” instead of “retirement” and “rejected”?

      Probably prudent, but then how do we select this branch of government and protect it from becoming corrupt?

      Yeah, and we could call it the Congress or something!
