Where can I find the law that requires government officials to cut ties with businesses they worked for?

Answer 1

The constitution provides that public officials must not have conflict of interests with their position. Thus, a person accepting a public office must resign and vacate all his positions in the private sector but must concentrate on his new mandate.

Answer 2

There is a federal law that states the President must put his business in a blind trust, and cannot have anything to do with the running of the business. Jimmy Carter did it with his Georgia business, Ron Reagan did with his and every President as far back as LBJ all did the same thing.

Now Congress is a different story. They pretty much do what they want to do and don't care what you think. They voted themselves automatic pay raises that happen yearly, and the only way not to get one is for 2/3rds to vote it down.

So, in politics, anything goes, and one party is always pointing fingers at the other, for doing the same thing they been doing. We have a very corrupt system in Washington and the only way to fix it, is to elect all new people to office, and when there term is up, elect a new person to fill the office again.
