[QUOTE="Pommer, post: 74051842, member: 231908"] Well, yeah, to a degree, the “check & balance system” is rather rusty, and in need of “tweaks”, about how much “politicians being politicians is A-OKAY but | < that’s the line that, if crossed, is clearly corruption”. Acts (of Congress, I do not think that they’d need a Constitutional Amendment for this), could be passed for [I]future* Presidents[/I], to be required to [I]at least[/I] put their financial holdings in a “real blind trust**” to ensure, for all of us, that their decisions are not weighted with personal, financial, concerns). And if a blind trust is unworkable? Liquidate your assets and buy US SAVINGS BONDS, then we can all be sure that you’d like to be around, in seven years, to roll them over! *No [I]criminal [/I][B][I]ex post facto [/I][/B]laws, per the [I]Grand Old Rag[/I], (no disrespect in that, to the Constitution, intended, I assure you!). **it seems that the President’s definition for “blind trust” is “[I]You can’t see what I’m doing? [/I][B][I]Trust ME[/I][/B]!” [/QUOTE]
