that any and all candidates for high office should display their seriousness at the same time as they announce they are running. At that same time, they must divest themselves of all that would be required of them should they win. They must immediately cease any and all business activity that would be in conflict (or come under scrutiny) with the office they sought to hold. If they don't win...tough luck, chump. Yep. That will surely weed out a lot of people.
