Yes, beware anyone who truly craves it.
I had an idea once that we should have three Presidents who were chosen at random from the pool of eligible voters. Four year term, but selection for one of them every two years. That way you'd always have at least two people as President who had done the job for at least two years and hopefully one out of every three would be smart enough not to do crazy crap and block any truly nutzo legislation.
And yeah, the average voter might not be all that smart, but hey if they can vote, they can make decisions, and what more qualifications should a person have? If they can vote, they can serve, just like on a jury. They don't all have to be lawyers. The entrenched bureaucracy would teach them everything they needed to know to do the job. It would be nice, I suppose, if they spoke English. But interpreters exists, so... Anyway, they'd be a good representative for the large percentage of Americans who don't speak English. They need representation, right?
But one of the biggest advantages would be that they would unlikely be in the pocket of any big corporations or big-money campaign money donors. Actually, if it was random, then there wouldn't be any campaigning at all -- at least not for President, anyway.
Even after the Trump debacle, it might be worth trying. But nothing is harder than campaign reform because the people expected to do the reforming are the ones who benefited the most from the status quo.

Once again, for those who have not been paying attention: there is no provision in the US Constitution for any mechanism under which Trump can be 'reinstated'. The MyPillow guy is crazy for even suggesting it.
I have two words for you: That's what a coup is for.
I don't know why Trump would want to be President again anyway. It's not like he was all that thrilled to do the actual working job of a President, which you can see Biden doing. The attention, I suppose. And being able to funnel tons of treasury money to your cronies.

OK. So on the basis of that video I suppose Biden will be replaced immediately by Trump?
Has Covid mutated over there and started to eat your brains???!
