No, I don’t mean like what they did to JKF. I mean do away with the office of the chief executive of our government. The last , umm, five or six presidents have been pretty bad . Maybe we could just create a new type of government where no single person has a lot of power .

The president has a lot of different jobs including Commander-in-Chief, Chief Administrator, Chief Executive, Chief Legislator, Chief Diplomat, Chief of Party, Chief of State, and Chief Citizen. He is in charge of appointing many people to powerful positions in the government. These people are usually chosen based on political favors or industry expertise . For the names and backgrounds of Biden’s appointees, check this article. Many of them also worked with Obama .

According to whitehouse.gov : “Under Article II of the Constitution, the President is responsible for the execution and enforcement of the laws created by Congress. Fifteen executive departments — each led by an appointed member of the President’s Cabinet — carry out the day-to-day administration of the federal government. They are joined in this by other executive agencies such as the CIA and Environmental Protection Agency, the heads of which are not part of the Cabinet, but who are under the full authority of the President. The President also appoints the heads of more than 50 independent federal commissions, such as the Federal Reserve Board or the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as federal judges, ambassadors, and other federal offices. The Executive Office of the President (EOP) consists of the immediate staff to the President, along with entities such as the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of the United States Trade Representative.”

We already have committees that work on the various issues which helps slow down unnecessary policy decisions and changes. The committees could then present their findings to a general board who would then present a budget and policy to the public would get the final vote. I don’t have it all worked out but I’m sure we could at least severely limit the powers of the president and improve the functioning of the whole government.

We’ve long since abandoned the ideas of limited government as stated in the original Constitution . The various regulatory agencies function with the power of law. With the overuse of executive orders in the past few administrations, and activist judges, we don’t really have a proper separation of powers anyway. And since nobody likes Biden or any of the proposed replacements, let’s just do away with the position of head of state. Start fresh. No more puppets controlled by previous presidents or foreign presidents or bankers or unions or lobbyists.

Not to mention that using AI could improve elections, policy planning and decision making. We could, and probably eventually will, cast our votes online which would be much easier. We could eliminate all political lobbying and campaign funding . We don’t need phony debates and slanderous campaign commercials. Just the facts please!

Let’s find out what the public really wants from the government. I think it’s time for a government “by the people and for the people”. What say you ?
