CMV: Politicians should be under oath everytime they make public statements

Politicians are free to lie and make things up when they please, with their end goal being to deceive their constituents and win votes they do not deserve. For example, Trump has lied more than 20,000 times since he took office.

This is undermining democracy as a whole, as we never know what is true from what is false and it creates a rift between people as now we can't even agree on facts anymore, let alone opinions based on those truths/lies.

They should be held liable every time they willingly lie and make false statements,. By not having any system in place to deter them from lying, we encourage and reward this behavior.  
I can't think of a singly reason why politicians should be allowed to mislead the people they are supposed to serve.

No other country has this rule and yet other democracies are not being undermined. What keeps these other democracies stable is voters *actually holding their politicians to account for their lying by voting them out*. It is irresponsible to propose grand sweeping changes to the way your democracy works if you can't even get 50% of your population to vote on a regular basis. Try fixing that first.
