250 years ago, men in positions of power were expected to adhere to a minimum public standard or remove themselves out of honor.

I feel like impropriety isn't a new problem. For example in 1787 we had to remove senator William Blount for trying to get Britain to invade Florida in a land speculation scheme. This is more so just recency bias.
