McDowell Memo: Time for a true Code of Conduct for Federal electees and apointees.
Time for a true Code of Conduct for Federal elected and appointed officials
After watching the last 3 decades of wasted time and finances in investigating Presidents, etc. and having no real impact on stopping the actions that we felt were injurious to the country.
I hereby propose the following items be included in a bill in both houses and signed by the President.
- The President immediately appointee a special commission to write a formal Code of Conduct for all Federal office candidates , office holders, and All federal appointees.
- Said Commission will include the following 3 Justices of the Supreme Court, 3 members off Republican and 3 members of the Democratic party from both the House and The Senate
- The Chairman of the Commission will be the Vice President of the United States,
- The purpose will be to determine the following
- What is a High Crime and Misdemeanor
- What is the time frame in which a person covered by their office is held responsible
- Can a President be indicted while in office
- Can a Person be indicted for crimes committed by the color of the office after leaving that position.
- How will the officials be held responsible for acts of their assistants, campaigns, etc.
- What violations of the Code of Conduct would be Impeachable, Criminal , non-Criminal
- Who would be the tryers of Fact ( Senate) Who would be the Grand Jury(House) Prosecutor Chairman of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. Who would be the defense Counsel The Attorney General in case of any conflict of interest the Solicitor General would serve instead.
- The trial would be held in the Senate Chamber and be decided just an any other trial in the United States would require a unanimous decision to convict or to find not Guilty.
- The rules of Evidence would be the federal code at the time of the incident not at the time of the trial. This keeps a party from retroacting adopting changes that would benefit one party or another.
- The passage of this bill will need a 3/4 vote of the House and 3/4 vote of the Senate and signed by the President
- This bill can only be passed in the year after a Presidential Election to remove any possibility of benefit to any party .
- All Changes to this bill would also have to be done with a 3/4 vote in each branch and done only in the year after a Presidential election.
- To ensure timely action , each change will be voted on individually and only an up or down vote can occur no amendments allowed Time frame of any change will be no more that 3 months from submission of the bill to a vote in each house.
The code will include verbal statements that are racist , knowingly untrue, designed to harm non-involved members of a person family, etc. They will be found and listed as Criminal , Non- Criminals or malicious . All of this will be determined and set in stone, There will be no linger a question as to what is improper.
I am hoping that some one will have the guts to take this to the people I know this is what they want ...…………………………………………………………………..
