     I have an idea for a constitutional amendment that would,in my view
    anyway,resolve many of the current political problems facing the U.S.
    today. Especially in the 18 months preceeding every election. For
    what it's worth,here it is:

     It shall be illegal for ANY POLITICIAN to hold public office within
    the borders of the United States of America.

    Somehow I doubt if it will ever be seriously considered, let alone
    passed by both houses and signed into law by the President (no matter
    who is in office at the time). But if it were, maybe we,the people of
    the U.S., could get a truly representitive form of government instead
    of the current form of government of, by, and for Special Interest
    Groups. What do you think,does this idea have any merit?
