    God first, America second.

    he needs to either represent his electorate or his X in some legislation, who is he going to choose?

filter for X in ['religion', 'shareholders', 'finances', 'influence', 'celebrity', 'special interest group' ...]

I'd argue insider trading and the churn between business/lobbying/legislating are conflicts of interest to fight.
