(752 posts)32. No expectation of privacy
To reiterate, bring together some of what others said:
No expectation of privacy for this office!
* Name cannot appear on a ballot without complete financial disclosure publication
* Name cannot appear on a ballot without some kind of security check - SF86, secret clearance
(failure to meet clearance is ok - people can choose whatever jackass they want)
* cannot take office without a complete medical exam, from blindly - selected medical staff
(questionable fitness/competence is ok - people can choose whatever jackass they want)
Medical exam for fitness must be conducted & disclosed 1x per year
Financial and tax records publicly disclosed every year
