That's all dancing around the real issue - no regulation will get you anywhere as long as a crime is not a crime when wall street does it and/or politicians are involved. Restore the rule of law which has been out of order for quite a while now. Instead of criminal money printing and bailout for the cronies, just orderly bankruptcy for the banks and some serious jail time and claw-backs for the fraudsters would have done trick. The TBTFs would have been gone by now and made room for smaller banks who lent responsibly. No voodoo crony economics needed ;)
We should create rules where the Senator recievings funds has to disolve themself of voting.
They have rules like this but not enforced.
Nearly impossible?

There are 114,761,359 households in the U.S. This means that you, personally, lost $252,698.30 bailing out greedy ass bankers.
Let me repeat that. You, personally, lost over quarter of a million dollars bailing out a scumbag banker who looks down at you like you are subhuman.
Let me put this in even plainer terms. You lost this house. You could be living in either of these two houses, fully paid off, if the banks and the federal government didn't fuck you over.
This is not an exaggeration. This is actually what your family lost, in real terms, from the bank bailout. Why aren't you pissed off?
