Why not just use those already elected ? Each Governor is responsible for his state until they get their act back together?
But, but, but...if they did that, then we'd have responsible state governments that only used the FedGov as a meeting place and cosolidating point, just like the Constitution wanted, and we can't have that now! Much better to have a small handfull of unelected bureaucrats dictating to us from some underground hideout guarded by men with machine guns to keep "we the people" out, right? That's the "American Way!(tm)", right?
Hey! You're either with us or with the terrorists, buddy!
A new, and exciting way to protect the system from the people.
