Do you think politicians should submit to a polygraph test periodical?

like some employs have to do in the privet sector in order to maintain their jobs or positions?
Additional Details
i knew some smarty pants would spot the misspelling and commit on that rather than the subject,have you ever heard of a voice stress analyzer?all you have to do is record a persons voice during their speeches and it will indicate when what they say isn't quite the truth,very handy and was probably used extensively during the election,also high security jobs require the submission to polygraph test also its required in most Armour companys employees

People might take your question more seriously if you spelled things right. When you cannot spell, folks assume you cannot think and therefore they feel free to ignore you. You might also want to consider what questions you would pose in a polygraph test. The test does not determine whether someone is generally a liar. It is supposed to determine if the answers to specific questions are truthful. The next problem is that some psychopaths and other habitual liars can defeat the test. That would mean that many elected politicians can also defeat the test. Finally, would you have this test be administered to every citizen's advisory board member that serves for a buck a year? Every school district member? Every pollution control district member? That is going to cost many millions of dollars every year.

The accuracy of the polygraph is under such scrutiny that I could only see this causing more problems than it solves. Though Federal court hasn't yet ruled on it some jurisdictions ban polygraphs outright for the accuracy concerns.

No, but they should all have term limits.

Why would I want to waste more of my tax dollars on that? I'm unaware of private sectors employees having to routinely take polygraph tests. I've heard of employees being given a polygraph with probable cause as well as random and/or mandatory drug tests.

Drug tests would do more good, if penalties were attached and enforced.
