Why do certain public officials think they're above the law? The New York Times has exposed Hillary Clinton for exclusively using a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state. Federal law requires that letters and emails sent and received by federal officials be retained as government records.

What's next? Will President Obama try to usurp the taxing power of Congress the same way he has attempted to execute a legislative power grab? Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has called on Obama to raised more than $100 billion in corporate taxes through executive action. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the president "is very interested in this avenue."

Here's a noteworthy idea: Reps. Scott Rigell, R-Va., and David N. Cicilline, D-R.I., are sponsoring a bipartisan bill to help restore the public's confidence in Congress by requiring every member of the House of Representatives to undergo annual ethics training. It's the Ensuring Trust and Honorability in Congressional Standards (ETHICS) Act.
