Default Politics Spartan Style

Sparta had five presidents. A new one was elected each year. The most senior one, leaving office, would then go on trial. ANY citizen could bring charges against him, that he would have to answer for. The more I think about this system the less I can find fault with it.

That is nottotally unlike what we have here. Anyone can bring charges against anyone they want. After the President leaves office, anyone is welcome to sue or to press charges against him.

I think they can still bring charges against him while he is in office. Though, I'm not sure.

Kathleen Willy tried that and Clinton smeared her everywhere, he also got the IRS on her ass.
