Obviously, letting people run for office isn't working out. Maybe we should start a popular elect kind of deal where the candidate doesn't have any choice in the matter. That's how George Washington was elected. What do you think?

It's been tested. The first president was forced into office like this. It worked well then.

I can think of some pros/cons.
President Bill O'Reilly!
or for the other side of the fence
President Jon Stewart!

This is the reason for the political conventions. The party leaders are there to choose the candidate who will run.
I'd love to see the Reps draft someone who has been successful in business and have no political background.
Warren Buffet or Bill Gates??

Hell just start a draft.. Get everyone in on the fun..
I think you could get a better President if you went to any zoo, and grabbed a random monkey from one of the pits and gave it a pen and a desk..

Actually, I don't think it's that far fetched.
Dr. Amis P Klumb-Nobel winner
Dr. Gaushin Swartzky- Pulitzer
Mr. Adam Mckowsovick-US President winner.

A draft would ultimately mean voting and why have someone president that wouldn't want to be. The persons heart wouldn't be in it therefore would do a awful job. Especially nowadays

I'd like that, as most Republicans would most likely dodge it, thinking that it was a draft into actual combat service.
