19. An absolute necessity for preserving the Republican form of government

The 'revolving door' culture is stark raving nuts. A government absolutely cannot take effective measures against those who break the law when those designated to initiate and prosecute the measures are former and future employees of the lawbreakers themselves.

There is nothing for it but a constitutional amendment - without that, we will sink even further into severe government corruption and become a pure feudal big business nation, with puppet state and national governments. It is inevitable.

This would work:

No person may hold an Office of Trust on behalf of the United States which involves, to any degree, prosecution of individual or corporate parties and/or pursuant or subsequent investigation of the activities of such parties for the violation of the criminal or civil laws of the United States governing commercial conduct, if said person has, at any time during a period of five full calendar years prior to the assumption of the office, received any pecuniary compensation for any services rendered to a party or parties involved in commercial behavior, the nature of which party or parties' commercial activities may be reasonably anticipated to bring said party or parties, or other parties engaged in substantially similar commercial behavior, within the extent of the person's prosecutorial or investigative authority as defined by the duties of the Office.

Additionally, no person holding or having held such an Office of Trust on behalf of the United States may receive any pecuniary compensation from nor hold any pecuniary interest in any party or parties whose commercial activities are or may reasonably anticipated to be subject to the person's prosecutorial or investigative authority as defined by the duties of the Office, during the person's term of said Office. Nor may such person, subsequent to departure from said office, for a period of 5 full calendar years, receive any such compensation or hold any such interest in such party or parties, even if the party or parties did not conduct any such commercial activity during the person's term of office, but began such activity subsequent to the departure of said person from the Office.

That's what you call government. Without it, we slowly cease to be a Republic.
