Government employee background checks?
With more and more businesses and local Governments requiring criminal background checks on each potential employee, shouldn't the Government expand this trend and require background checks on each political candidate and current member of Congress and publicly post the information before elections? Make them pay for it like we have to and hire an independent company to do background checks!!!

No problem what so ever. the reality of the problem is, while they do a criminal background verify, they are checking your previous to verify if there is any spectacular warrants, motives you could desire to be bribed, or tenancies to devote crimes. the main important difficulty is once you fill out the variety, be thoroughly and fully trouble-free. because of the fact they are going to be lots greater forgiving of a contravention in the journey that your trouble-free approximately it, and that they gained't forgive you once you're being cheating. genuinely everyone that works for the government would not have suited information, and this is an exceedingly minor journey, that may not even deliver up a purple flag. solid success.

Bill Clinton was accused of raping 2 white women as Governor and sued and impeached and no back ground made any difference when he lied and was caught in lies from a FBI investigation. I personally think short of committing a murder, which would be public, no one would care what's on political candidate background checks
