1) The US should be divided into 9 or more Federal Districts and the heads of the departments should be spread across these districts. Video conferencing can keep the districts in touch with their offices as well as in contact with the President and Congress
2) I’ve always thought the succession should be Pres, VP, then go to a States Congress of Governor's who would like the prime minister model, elect from themselves the person who would run the nation until the next presidential election. That person would NOT be eligible to run for the office of President during that election.
but hey, who listens to me?
Interesting bump!
A better option would be to include top Cabinet members, such as the secretaries of State, Treasury and Defense, and then allow a president to designate several others—all requiring Senate confirmation—including qualified people of breadth who reside outside the capital area.
So this moron proposes non elected Officials should be in the Chain of Command/Chain of Succession?
