Section 6 -- No Financial Trades While In Office
Government officials can hold their accounts while serving, but they cannot buy or sell.
U.S. Government Reform Amendment (USGRA) -- Intro
This proposed amendment is intended to help minimize opportunities for corruption in the federal government and to correct some of the corruption that has already occurred. This is a very rough draft and it will require much fine tuning. I don't have all the answers and I don't have much time to devote to this, so I'm just throwing it out there, warts and all, and hoping others feel the same and will want to commit to help move it forward so we can get three fourths of the states to ratify it. I've left this wide open for comment and hoping for sincere, well-reasoned, well-referenced, constructive feedback on each section. I know its problems can be worked out through discussion and debate. An overarching theme throughout is that in order to minimize opportunities for corruption it must be a sacrifice to serve as an elected or appointed official. There must be virtually no way to profit from government service. There must be only nominal benefits to serving.
