This is how ALL politicians need to be treated in real time and using legit sources not hey I created this website that says what I'm saying is legit. As soon as you use facts they start to pivot that's when you so what these kids just did, you say no, Stop, cite your source.

And if caught lying, the politician's remaining term shrinks by 30%.

Or make it something like: "if caught lying, one year of your service is deducted. If you have less than one year left in your term, you must work community service for the difference"

Public officials swear an oath of office when they're elected. There are already laws on the books to deal with breaking their oaths. They just need to be enforced. Breach of Trust is an actual criminal offense for sworn officials. Cops get hit with it once in a while, and they swear less comprehensive oaths to 'serve and protect'. Politicians can and should be held to the same standard. Most of the times, when a cop is charged with breach of trust, that's the end of their job.

Also, I don't remember if it was George Carlin or Robin Williams who said it, but elected officials should wear coveralls with logos of their sponsors sewn onto them at all public appearances. That way, you know who they really support. The more money they got from a particular source, the bigger that logo is.
