Oh, dear God, there is Jason Chaffetz again on CNN. 

Tom Cotton is having a hissy fit, just to have a hissy fit. These are some of the worst Republicans ever in office. They want to dismantle the function of the government because of personal vendettas. The last time a Republican carried out a personal vendetta we ended up in Iraq.

Washington (CNN) Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas (click here) defended placing a hold on three Obama administration as part of a "constitutional clash" after the Secret Service leaked information about Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz.
"If they will do that to the congressman who oversees them -- with his influence and his megaphone -- what might they do the the little guy, to the normal American?" Cotton told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room." "That's not the level of leadership that we should expect from the Secret Service."
Cotton called on Department of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson to get "personally involved" and for the Attorney General to launch a criminal investigation into whether certain laws were broken....

Regardless incidents with the Secret Service there is no reason to hide a conflict of interest. End of discussion. The problem belongs to Chaffetz.

Jason Chaffetz, who as House Oversight Committee chairman is responsible for overseeing the agency, once applied for a job there and was turned down—because of his age, he says.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, who oversees the Secret Service, never disclosed that he had applied for and was rejected from the agency in the early 2000s.
“It was because I was too old,” the Utah Republican told The Daily Beast. “I’m not sure [of the reason]…that’s more than a decade ago.”
The Secret Service now requires that applicants be between the ages of 21 and 37 at the time of appointment. Chaffetz said he was unsure whether he had applied in 2002 or 2003. He would have been 36 in 2003....

The only time I have seen his leaked application is when he is holding it. He can't handle power.

Chaffetz reminds of me of someone else who couldn't handle power either. 

When a person is elected to office, the victory is not about him or her it is about the people. If an elected representative can't separate themselves from the business of the people they should not be in office.
