"Until no politician/President can guarantee himself a second term will they ever feel accountable to the public."
No, until they learn that they can't get in at all without being accountable to the public, no politician will feel accountable to the public.
I don't know how to look at a politician pre-election and know that they'll be honest and keep citizens' rights foremost. Certainly not by listening to them, because I've noticed whenever they make sounds their lips are moving, and when their lips are moving they lie.
So it would have to depend in part on their not being able to hide anything. Which would mean something like absolutely fucking open books, on everything, almost up to having a camera in the president's bathroom. Citizens would have to be able to inspect just about anything at all at a moment's notice. 'cause Congress won't.
And if not the absolutes of the previous paragraph, then as close as we can get, and closer all the time.
They lie, they have money and weapons, they have to be watched 24/7. Just like us.
