title: Hillary Clinton Supports Ban on 'Revolving Door' Corporate Bonuses 
content: U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton endorsed a proposed law on Monday that would prevent corporate firms paying bonuses to their executives for leaving to take senior government jobs .
  Clinton , in an op-ed published by the Huffington Post , was critical of the `` so-called revolving door '' between government and Wall Street firms in particular , saying it erodes public trust `` if a public servant 's past and future are tied to the financial industry . ''
  `` That 's when people start worrying that the foxes are guarding the hen house , '' Clinton , the front-runner in the race to win the Democratic Party 's nomination for the 2016 election , wrote . `` If you 're working for the government , you 're working for the people - not for an oil company , drug company , or Wall Street bank or money manager . ''
  Support for the proposed Financial Services Conflict of Interest Act had become a sort of litmus test for the Democratic Party 's progressive wing , which is seeking far more stringent oversight of the U.S. financial services industry .
  Elizabeth Warren , the Massachusetts senator who has become a standard-bearer for the party 's progressives , called on presidential candidates to endorse the bill last month shortly after it was introduced .
  The law would ban incoming government employees from accepting such bonuses , sometimes known as `` golden parachutes '' , from their former private sector employers .
  It would also require senior government regulators to recuse themselves from any work that would particularly benefit any employer or client they had in the two years before joining the government .
  Bernie Sanders , the socialist Vermont senator who is Clinton 's nearest rival for the nomination , had already given the bill his support , as had Martin O'Malley , a former Maryland governor , who has been lagging in public polls .
  Last week , groups representing Democratic progressives called for Clinton to make her position clear .
  Clinton co-wrote her Monday op-ed with Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin , the bill 's Democratic sponsor .
