Yes I especially want that to apply to congress, judiciary, and police, even more so than corporate CEOs! People in positions of higher responsibility, should, you know... be more responsible. Police and people in power should break laws less often, and be more trustworthy, and less selfish than average. They are in a position that requires a higher standard.

This reminds me of when people complain about a lack “freedom of speech” but what they actually want is freedom from the consequences of their speech.

Plenty of jobs come with personal life restrictions. Work nights. Work on an oil rig. Work on an aircraft carrier in the ocean for months at a time. Everyone is free to not take those jobs. I don’t see why a “no affairs” clause for a CEO should be all that different. If you don’t consent to the rules, take a different job.

> Do you really want to apply that to congress, the judiciary, the police. Let's face it anyone in any position of trust, which turns out to be everyone in the end because homeless, unemployed I could be a witness to something.

These kinds of paths to blackmail/extortion are literally what government background checks pressure test when hiring employees. So, yes, we do want to apply those to people in positions of trust.

I'm not clear why you claim this extends to everyone including the homeless and unemployed, that seems wrong to me. You can't blackmail a homeless person into violating national security.

dude you better believe if you have a clearance and they find out you have an affair you're losing your clearance

exceptions of course for the commander in chief
