Just read someone who suggested this on another mb a few hours ago. He wants everyone's social security numbers placed in "lottery," with the "winner" having to serve at least one term as U.S. President.
He wrote about being tired of the choices he is always offered, along with Giuliani, Gore, Hillary, McCain, Obama, Romney, Kucinich, etc., all being members of the "ruling class." Since they belong to the "ruling class" he doesn't feel any of them, Republican or Democrat, have the slightest idea of the problems/challenges average people in the U.S. face.
He did mention several things which would automatically disqualify you from serving: past felonies, severe illness which would not permit you to serve, mental instability as certified by a psychiatrist/psychologist, and a couple others I don't recall offhand.
He also wants a stipend for the new president for food and housing. It's an intriguing idea, but I don't know how you implement it. And if it should be applied to the entire Congress as well.
