A ban on corporate donations. Campaigns can only be funded by individual donors or households.

All politicians are required to disclose their investment portfolio and what types of stocks they've invested in are displayed during debates or speeches alongside their voting records and quotes on issues.

A maximum net worth which cannot exceed 70% of the population's average net worth. No one who has a net worth of over 10 million dollars for example is allowed to run because wealth has an alienating effect. If youre wealthier than most Americans its likely you cannot relate to the fear of losing your job and not being able to afford medicine.

An age limit on who can run for office. If you can't be president as a 32 year old, you shouldn't be allowed to be president at over 65

Every year politicians are given a knowledge test and are assessed for mental fitness. Results are public knowledge and are displayed as a cumulative score any time you're in a speech or debate.

A maximum term limit across the board of 8 years. Whether its in the Supreme Court or congress, any position where you're affecting public policy and the laws of the land should come with a time limit. Nobody should be allowed to serve for life.

Supreme Court justices are automatically retired and replaced at 65. A shortlist is created by congress and then the judge is elected by a 2/3rds majority vote. If congress is deadlocked the vote is opened up to a jury of randomly selected citizens across the country. Judges are subject to the same fitness tests as other politicians and their finances are public too.
