I would suggest political campaigns must be conducted under oath. This compels politicians to keep mind of their promises and statements or be criminally prosecuted for untruths.

I would add a clause requiring any politician who votes for anything subsequently found unconstitutional to be immediately impeached.

These legal standards would only apply to politicians and all of the people would be exempt. This should be the only exemption to any law ever passed.

Make it retroactive and we could clean up that DC swamp in no time!

So everyone who voted for the Defense of Marriage Act is now out?
