America has a bad track record of punishing leaders we elected who betray our values. There's some history as to why... But this experiment in democracy may not be able to continue to survive practice of that particular tradition.

It will make the office less desirable if people know that bad choices could send them to prison. That's probably okay. Hundreds of millions of people, surely we can find someone brave enough to still take the government roles knowing that once they leave office, it could be into a prison cell if they fuck up.
