It's probably for the best. Only a truly great man would be worthy of the power the office of President of the United States grants, and great men have an annoying tendency to become tyrants.
Your mention of the Founders reminded me of a thought I once had that we might have been better off if, instead of a President and a Vice President, they had simply created two co-equal Presidents with veto powers over each other. Hey, it worked for the Romans...

Hey, it worked for the Romans. I am not so sure co-Consuls really "worked" that well for the Romans. If it ever did, I am afraid it was not for very long.
