As someone else mentioned it will make them more corruptable because elected officials will always have to be looking for the next thing for them. Better not piss off industry if you want that cushy corporate job after you’re done! Oh next year I’m jobless, better get what I can now! Not that the current system is perfect but it will make lobbyists and oligarchs more powerfull, not less.
Lobbyists and Oligarchs already offer post-term positions to congressmen.
In fact they’d just have to pay more than they do now because instead of one guy for 16 years of service its something like 4 guys for 4 years of service each.
