IMHO, irrespective of the conspiracy theories, there's more than enough bonafide information over the years showing how covert and corrupt government and politics is at all levels such that it is the responsibility of each and every citizen to be continuously wary and never ever hand the reigns of power over to anyone for more than a short period of time. There should be absolutely no way to make a career in politics. I would put an absolute limit on time spent in elected office, and no one would be allowed to ‘serve’ more than 10 years total (combined time including any office at any level).

I don't think there is any necessity for anyone at any level (including the Presidency) to have ‘public office’ experience in order to ‘serve’ in those positions. The types of ‘experience’ and qualifications that should be looked at are ones achievements and contributions as a private citizen. Being able to choose good advisers, to take good advice, and to efficiency delegate are really what's needed in any of these positions.

As long as we have career politicians it is guaranteed that we will have government corruption. The two are inseparable. That's not to say that all career politicians are corrupt, but there are enough of them such that the risk is too high. Serve, then go home and do something else with your life.

Article 5 Convention.>br>Term limits for Congress and the USSC.
For Congress- ONE TERM for Congressmen and ONE TERM for Senators. Return the selection of Senators to the State legislatures.
Repeal the 16th,17th, and 19th Amendments.

Great post. I’m sure you meant to include “dynasties” as well. The Bushes and Clintons need to step back.
