Or the anti-incumbency law of 2007.

I think China may be on to something with their policy of executing corrupt public officials. Of course the Chi-coms do not have to obey any real laws that deal with the vagaries of the many sordid public transgressions committed by elected officials of every stripe at every level and that is not good for a nation of laws such as US. We would definitely need some kind law. I'm in favor of a constitutional amendment.

The statute should be kept simple and very broad. No more than a thousand words should be adequate though I have a proposal that is far shorter.

Any elected public official who commits a felony while acting in the capacity of his or her office shall be guilty of treason. This law shall apply to all elected public officials who are in office on the day the legislation is signed into law.

A pilot program could be started by labor day--just in time for the election season--if we get to work on this now. It's just a hunch, but I bet there would be a lot of resignations and much of the government corruption problems would dry up rather quickly.

I really don't see anything wrong with such a law. After all, if an official isn't doing anything wrong then they wont have anything to worry about.
