Lots of politicians talk about draining the swamp. Few seem motivated to do anything about it. While the president tweets, Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., has introduced five pieces of legislation that seem like common sense and would actually clear some of the weeds from Washington.

On Thursday, Sasse authored an op-ed in USA Today where he laid out his plan. To start with, he wants to prohibit prevent Cabinet members and their immediate family from soliciting donations from foreign sources. That’s a no-brainer, based on Hillary Clinton’s ethics problems. We should all be confident that those in the top echelons of our government are not beholden to foreign powers, even indirectly.
