Of course a vague notion or a measure that could be applied in a picayune willy nilly manner would cause more problems than it would correct.

Corruption occurs when a representative allows an influence to adversely effect or conflict with them representing the interests of their constituency. Even though we are all confronted with all kinds of influences on a daily basis, the act of allowing, or not allowing, is the responsibility of the representative. Corruption is then, the responsibility of the representative who allows it to occur. Any breach of this trust relationship is a violation of the social contract.

At a minimum, abuse of public trust should result in immediate disqualification from service as a representative. Depending on the severity of the offense, this might include criminal charges as well.
