Chuck, Perhaps the office is beyond the individual capacity of one person. I propose that we eliminate the office entirely. I propose that we keep the judicial and leguslative branches (I have some ideas there, but will not state them), and that we elect a council of the wisest and most sage and didicated people in the country to replace the President. The election criteria would be wisdom and decication, not political popularity. We would adopt a wise and long term public policy with far reaching goals and purpose. There would be no such thing as political contribution, and perhaps the council should be sworn to poverty and chastity with generous allowance for their needs and requirements and perhaps a most generous pension. We would place them upon election beyond any physical or financial need, within limits. They would be selected with a psychological profile suitable to the job. There would be no great surprises in that respect. Their job would be to simply guide the country and its occupants in the wisest and most profitable course. We could have appointed operatives who would serve at the discression of the council, and they would be subject to moral diversity, hiring and firing. Of course, a wise council would select designees who would keep their nose out of the dirt, right!! Perhaps this is not to happen, yet? Disappointed, Jack
