  • Skip the psych exam. Restore the “public servant” aspect.

    1. All assets are sold and the cash is placed in a trust that earns 1% interest. When you leave office you get your money back.

    2. 24/7 audio and video coverage of your life as long as you are in office. The toilet is not filmed unless someone goes in with you. Other than that, your life is an open book.

    3. After you leave office, you can teach classes as long as your compensation is no more than the lowest-paid professor at the school that employs you. You can write books. Or you can enjoy your pension. No corporate jobs or partner positions at fancy law firms.
