Someone hired to write rules they'll later find clever ways to exempt themselves from.
means A person who makes laws, typically as an elected member of a governing body.
from From Latin legislator, a compound of lex/legis ('law') and lator ('proposer' or 'bearer,' from ferre, 'to carry or bring'). So, literally, 'the one who carries the law forward' — a Roman notion of the lawmaker as courier of civic order, later adopted wholesale into English in the 1600s to describe the men writing rules in Parliament.
