1. I want to hold everyone in public office to a higher standard than lawbreaker.

Is that REALLY too much to ask, especially when the job description set forth in the Constitution includes seeing that laws are faithfully executed? *

Usually, there is very little I can do about it because the lawbreaker is already in office or because I don't get to vote on his or her election--not my city, not my state or whatever.

*Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 3.

He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.
