   It seems redundant to pass a law that says that the government has to   
   obey the laws that have already been passed for government to follow.   
      
   Wouldn't it simply be better to pass a law that says that all laws   
   broken by Government workers and elected persons has to be taken to an   
   Impeachment and trial by an advocate from a political party other than   
   their own and has a minimum of 6 months in jail if convicted of any crime.
