I would argue it is already legal.
Politicians being able to trade stock on private information, supreme court justices getting lavish vacations and book deals, citizens united allowing unlimited cash to be spent getting people to positions of power.
Here's a dissent from citizens united:
> He argued that the court's ruling "threatens to undermine the integrity of elected institutions across the Nation. The path it has taken to reach its outcome will, I fear, do damage to this institution." He added: "A democracy cannot function effectively when its constituent members believe laws are being bought and sold."
We're already there. There is no doubt in my mind our laws are bought and sold.
