Agree

Yes

Libertarians may somewhat agree with a 5-year ban on White House and Congressional officials from becoming lobbyists, as it could reduce corruption and cronyism. However, they also value individual freedom and may argue that such a ban infringes on the rights of former government officials to pursue their desired careers.

Slightly agree

No, the current two-year ban is sufficient

Libertarians may slightly agree with the current two-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists, as it strikes a balance between reducing corruption and cronyism and respecting individual freedom. However, some libertarians may argue that even a two-year ban is an infringement on personal liberties.

Slightly disagree

No

Libertarians are unlikely to fully support the idea of no ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists, as they generally oppose cronyism and corruption. However, they may argue that a shorter ban, such as the current two-year ban, is sufficient to address this issue while still respecting individual freedom.

Disagree

Yes, and make it a lifetime ban

Libertarians would likely disagree with a lifetime ban on White House and Congressional officials from becoming lobbyists, as it would be seen as a severe infringement on individual freedom and the right to pursue one's desired career. While they may support measures to reduce corruption and cronyism, a lifetime ban would likely be seen as excessive and overly restrictive.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and ban all forms of lobbying

Libertarians would likely strongly disagree with banning all forms of lobbying, as they believe in limited government intervention and the right to petition the government. Banning all forms of lobbying would be seen as a significant infringement on individual freedom and the democratic process.
