Office of the President of the USA

A good start would be.....NEVER VOTE FOR AN INCUMBENT. One term and back home they go. Stumping for re-election and war chests would be a thing of the past. Lobbyists would have a tougher time getting a foothold.

A recent Prime Minister of ours, John Key, (elected three terms in a row,) was just that: a businessman.
He came from a grass-roots background; the son of a solo mum/state-house tenant in a poverty stricken area he worked his way to the top of his profession in the finance industry.
He steered New Zealand through the Global Economic Crisis. When other countries economies were going belly-up John Key's management ensured NZ not only retained the status quo; it actually improved.
That's the type of man that's needed to run a country; a self-made businessman.
Not a spoon-fed arse-wiped clown.

I agree with the businessman approach as long as they're not Bean Counters whose only concern is the bottom line.

Ken I totally agree with you.
It has to be someone who can see things not as they are; but as how the could be.
Someone far wiser than I once said: 'Imagination is of greater value than knowledge.'
That is: the ability to see things as they could be.

I'd reckon that hot-rodders fit that criterion to a T!

Uncle Bob for president?

(I'm sure he'd be better than Alfred E Nueman...)

i think a better idea would be term limits for congress, say a maximum of twelve years total. that means either six terms in the house or two terms in the senate, or three in the hose and one in the senate. after twelve years total you are done with elected office in congress. go back home and work a real job.

8 years same as the potus.

the reason i choose twelve years is it doesnt change the founders original intentions regarding the houses of congress, just like the 22nd amendment didnt change teh length of time the presidents term in office is.
