I think you can just outlaw paying someone to do this, not the lobbying itself, no?

I think it would be unconstitutional in the US in light of citizens united. I'm sure that there are many things that could be done, but no simple answers like just banning lobbying.

Well yes it's a given that Citizens United would need to be overturned for any of this to happen.
