Gideon Saar's bill to bar indicted MKs from forming government can be exploited by bad lawmakers

The former Likud member who betrayed them for bizarre political gain wants to propose a bill that's merely intended for use against Benjamin Netanyahu:
Ministers in Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s government clashed over the weekend over bills that would prevent former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu from forming a government.

Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar (New Hope) told the Yediot Aharonot newspaper on Friday that in the Knesset’s winter session, he would pass bills preventing a candidate under criminal indictment from forming a government and limiting a prime minister to eight years or two terms in office.
What makes this reprehensible is the danger it runs for enabling corrupt officials in the legal system to just manufacture a case against any politician they don't like, and thus prevent him/her from forming a government at all. If this bill passes, it'll be a disaster.
