I disagree. We are a republic and our ellected offical is on their own to act as they see fit. They could have an agenda that they have kept silent through their campaign. It could be they want to get placed on many boards of directors when they leave. This would open them up to doing the will of big business for 2,6, or more years with no respect to the citizens they represent. I would love to see a two term maximum for all elected officials. They get in and maybe they can get reelected. I'd love to see an audit on what they do with respect to all riders on bills. Do you want the world to see that you added a 150 million dollar roadway to nowhere onto a college tuition aid bill? Secondly I'd like to see the president have a line item veto. When he gets a bill full of pork related crap he can remove some of the trash and get the true nature of the bill completed and moved up.
