Let the platform that a candidate runs on be a contract with the people. When he is elected, if he doesn't do what he said in his platform contract, execution. If he is literally stopped by the opposition from a timely follow-through, so it isn't entirely his fault, life in prison immediately.

When the next person in line takes over after the first guy has been executed/imprisoned, he has a choice. Fulfill the platform contract of the first guy, be executed/imprisoned like the first guy... except if he voluntarily immediately resigns without taking office.

Same with every other person who is the follow-up person to take office as successor to someone who is executed/imprisoned/resigns. Fulfill the contract of the office you are coming into or die.

By the time they run through all the people in government, and the garbage collector resigns before he is executed, government problems will have straightened themselves out.

Cool

EDIT: Obviously, this is only a basic idea. I mean, we should add that if the elected fulfills his contract with the people, a new election is immediately mandated.

isn't this is what happening right now? the only difference are companies and rich people with certain agenda are the ones they have contract with.
and even if what your saying happened it'll be just the same factions will be made with their own agenda people will be divided the only difference is
they'll be working for the "people".

Perhaps this is happening right now. But I have never seen - not that I see much of anything - a copy of a signed contract between a US president and anybody regarding his platform: "I, candidate Jon Doe, if I am elected president, promise to blah, blah, blah before the mid-date of my first term in office. In the event of my failure, I require my execution/life-imprisonment. Signed, candidate Jon Doe."

If the voters don't like the contract, they won't vote for the joker. If they don't care, who knows what will happen?

Many people care right now. The only reason we don't do something about it, is that we don't know that we can take any law or any elected official to trial by jury for anything or almost nothing. And even if we knew we could do this, we don't know how to do it.

Government officials, especially the Judicial Branch, are keeping us ignorant about the whole process, built right into the Constitution and laws, for any of us to personally prosecute any law or government official, anytime, in common law court. And when the few of us who find out how, attempt to do it, the Judical people block us as much as they can. That's why we need to have support groups in this.

Cool
