The Public Official Accountability Act (POAA) aims to hold elected public officials accountable for their words and actions while in office and gives more latitude to take action for dishonest acts while serving in office. The act is still being formulated however the basic plan is as follows:
1. A bipartisan congressional accountability committee would be formed
2. The committee would tasked with accepting and analyzing complains about fellow elected officials
3. If a fellow official was deemed to have lied or intentionally misled the public while acting in the capacity of their office then they would receive a one time warning and would be required to film a video apology and correct the record. These videos would be made public record.
4. If they violate the act a second time they would be subject to impeachment.
We need to do something to hold our elected officials to basic standards of honesty. They should be held to higher standards that we hold average citizens. The lying and dishonesty has reached a toxic level. Policiticans will not pass an act like this on their own but if the people get loud enough we can demand that they do. Since im sure there are a few billionaire activists out there reading this, as thats who I assume own most the accounts on this message board, how about you slap a few million into starting a cause to get this Act passed!
