Lest Corporations Become Too Important

In this age of the corporate buying of representation and making corruption legal again, it seems that the rules for determining whom our Senators and Congress people to keep up with the times. Thus, how states are represented in the Federal Government, along with other rules, should apply to the representation of corporations which also exists in our government. Limits on corporate ownership of our Senators and Congresspeople must implemented lest corporations become too important.

For example, if each state can be represented by only 2 Senators, then no corporation can be represented by more than 2 Senators lest corporations become too important. In addition, no Senator can represent more than one corporation lest corporations become too important.

As for the House of Representatives, each corporation  can own as many members of the House as it can afford. However, no elected Congressman can represent more than one corporation lest corporations become too important.

However, in fairness to corporations, the following rules must be observed. Corporations get to draft newly elected Senators and Congresspeople. The draft will get to determine which corporation gets the shot at signing a newly elected official. Newly elected officials can either directly negotiate a contract with a corporation or use an agent. If that official goes unsigned, then that he/she must be replaced by an even newer newly elected official.


Incumbent members of the Senate or House can become free agents after having served the time specified by their current contracts if they are neither resigned nor traded to another corporation. But they cannot serve any remaining time on their term unless they have become signed. These rights must be guaranteed to all Senators and Congresspeople lest corporations become too important.

Corporations must also be guaranteed the following. Any corporation can trade any current elected official under a contract that lacks a no-trade clause to another corporation for any of the following

• an elected Senator or Congressperson provided that no corporation is represented by more than 2 Senators
• future draft pick(s)
• cash considerations
• any combination of the above.
   

The above corporate ownership rights over elected officials exist as an attempt to bring parity to the different corporations vying to own elected officials. However, no corporation can release or dismiss a purchased elected official before their contract expires lest corporations become too important. 

In addition, corporations will not be allowed to purchase members of the executive branch. That is because all future Presidents must be current or retired CEOs of a corporation. The Vice President's position will be determined by the President. This lack of corporate ownership of the executive branch must exist lest corporations become too important.

And since it is the President's job to nominate new members of the Judicial Branch, corporations are not permitted to own such members lest corporations become too important.
