			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I&#8217;ve got this crazy idea that we can save ourselves some headaches with one simple addition to our beloved Constitution.</p>
<p>Here goes but please don&#8217;t shoot me <img src='http://www.snwh.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>No member of Congress shall serve more then two terms in any single capacity as a member or more then four terms total if elected for another public office. No member of Congress shall receive any compensation of any sort from any government entity other then while serving in office except those members of Congress that have also served as the President of the United States or as a member of the Supreme Court. No member of Congress, their siblings, immediate descendants, or immediate relations of any sort thereof shall assist in any way or receive any compensation from any entity or association of said entity, whether direct or indirect, which receives any public funds or is seeking such funds from any public entity for at least 10 years following their last day served.</p>
<p>This I think could solve 3 problems: Get ride of the career politicians. Eliminate their cozy retirement/health care packages (forcing them to get real jobs). And also eliminating their &#8216;cashing in&#8217; on any government work they do by obtaining any posh jobs for them or their family members while in office or within 10 years after.</p>
<p>And since I&#8217;m on a role how about adding this one too:</p>
<p>Any person seeking any public office, prior to being accepted/placed on any ballot in any state, must first show legal documentation to each State&#8217;s Attorney in which state they intend to seek office, his or her qualifications to said office.</p>
<p>Hmm, wonder what headache this one would eliminate?</p>
