Constitutional Amendment Proposed:

No elected or appointed official shall leave office with a net worth greater than that which he or she entered office at the time of his or her initial election or appointment to said office. Further, all newly generated wealth acquired by said elected or appointed official's family shall be subject to continuous and completely transparent examination during the time of said official's term in office.

Critics will argue that all "good people" will avoid public service under these conditions, but doesn't that beg the question "what is a 'good' person?"
