A lot of government would be improved by making elected positions be very specific roles.

Why are we deciding military strategy from a guy that was elected to fix labor rights? Should the same guy running the school system also be in charge of selecting Supreme Court justices?

Also, the founding fathers had it right: An independent electoral college should decide elected positions, not the general public. Hiring decisions should be left up to people that are expert at hiring, not random people.

The only role the general public should have in government is deciding their representative - it's literally in the name!

And executive branch isn't supposed to be a representative. It's only role is to execute laws created by the representatives.

Really pushing the definition of elected there.
