A good listing.

I would add something like this:

>> No legislative bill may be voted on until an independent 1-5-10 year impact study has been done, published at least 14 business days before the vote, and become a permanent attachment to said legislation.

>> Every Senator and Congress person must sign an affidavit attesting that they have, themselves, read any piece of legislation before they voted on it.

>> No person elected or appointed to an elective Federal position (House, Senate, Presidency) may be elected or appointed to another elective Federal position.

[That would keep them from holding one elective office just so they can use it as a stepping stone to another elective office.]

(Given time, I could probably add a dozen more.)

An elected official who chooses to run for another office, must resign from his elected post prior to running.

Any elected official who chooses to change parties after being elected must resign his office and may run for his vacated office.
