Attorney 

A legislator-in-training who hopes to grow up to be a real politician some day. See job security.

Most legilators either have been, or eventually become attorneys, who practice the very law that legislators write, leading to a horrific conflict of interest between the two professions, by which government of the people is by the attorneys, for the attorneys.
