Why not use that standard for POTUS candidates too? No money from any other source and they both get the same amount to start with. Physical gifts no more than ten dollars and no cash gifts.

Rules are optional for many.
You have to start somewhere. It’s gross that Supreme Court justices make hundreds of thousands of dollars for gifts. That’s gotta stop. Let’s get some ethics going. It will better our country.
