We need a LAW to prevent anyone who has to be confirm by the Senate and all members of the House and Senate to be banned from working as a lobbyist for six years after leaving office. A pledge—as we saw from Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, et. al.—is not worth the air the pledge displaces.

Punishable by incarceration. Laws need teeth.

Law likely won’t work. There’s a long list of spouses or other close relatives of Congressmen bringing home much more money as a lobbyist than a Congressman is paid.
