How can I get out of President Duty?


Should our mechanism for political representation be more like jury duty? After mulling it over, political positions in an egalitarian democracy should be random and compulsory, just like jury duty. First there is some stigma that someone's intellect in one are would not transfer to running a country is bullshit. In our current education system, this has some truth. They way I see it, this would ensure much better education because people would be afraid of a dumbshit getting elected president. Also, this would strengthen the political system itself because there would definitely need to be knowledgable and reliable people hired into government agencies so that the individual characteristics of the "candidates" would not hinder the running of the country. Political parties would still function, but never absolutely have control over various branches and agencies of the government. finally, this would rid the immense amounts of money that go into funding our current systems candidates in which they become beholded to those money givers. A great system!
