"The Kwame Amendment"

It is law now...

Michigan Felon Politician Ban Amendment, Proposal 2: This Michigan initiative proposes that anyone holding an elected or government position be banned from office for 20 years for convictions resulting from breaches of the public trust.

Proposal 2 is also known as "The Kwame Amendment" after ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. In June, Kilpatrick was indicted on 19 counts of mail fraud and tax evasion. The goal is to prevent politicians like Kilpatrick from making a "political comeback" after being removed from office.
