In one of Arthur C. Clarke's books he proposed an interesting system. First off the presidency is more like the Australian or Canadian Governors General, a more ceremonial post, but with some real power. Second, any stated desire for the office, or attempt to campaign for office automatically invalidates the person from office. Finally the president is chosen at random from the population.
Given the last fiasco it may be a more viable method of electing presidents. larry -- Larry C.
