President

Now I don't claim to be a great political mind, but why can't we find a good president to lead this great country. I don't know who'll be better of the two candidates now, I don't think anyone does. Why don't we make this job appealing to our more promising young leaders of America. Ndudi Ebi get's drafted by the Timberwolves, scores 40 career points in 3 season. He's made over $3,000,000! He's played a total of 86 career minutes. That works out to be $2,097,902/hour
Now the president of the United States. The leader of the free world makes a pedestrian $400,000 a year. So let's compare and that works out to be
$192/hour.
This is assuming that the president works an average of 40 hours a week. Which I'm assuming he does more, but that's all right. So Ndudi Ebi makes
$2,097,710 more per hour than the president of the United States. That makes a lot of sense. What are the benefits of becoming president? You are grossly underpaid. You and your family are in danger of losing your life for every second of every day from the moment you start campaigning until the moment you die. You get mocked and ridiculed around the world and in your own country daily. Your entire life of normalcy completely disappears.
This is why we can't find a great president. The job sucks. You have every single NBA player in the league making more money than George W. Bush. I understand about people coming to watch the athletes play, and buying jersey's and tv contracts. But come on, we can't find a way to attract some great candidates?
Here's what you do. You need to completely revamp the entire system. It will be like sports. Now let's pretend like Governors are AAA, Senators are AA, and Congress is A. Each politician starts out in A, now you only get one term. While in congress you either move up or you move out. You need to beat out what's above you to show that you're worthy. What this does is keep things fresh. I think they're congressman and senators who've been in office for decades. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you were in office when disco was cool, you do not relate to today's issues. Now if you've made it to become a senator same thing applies, you've shown you've got potential. But you either move up, stay the same, or you're gone. You can't go back to congress. We can't waste our time hoping someday you'll make it. We're looking for prospects that can succeed under all situations. Now if you make it through the ranks you become 1 of 50 governors. Being governor is more closely related to President anyway. You actually have to make executive decisions. So now we have a election between 25 states. States alternate terms so that we can get to know our 25 candidates better. We can then look at each governor's body of work. We'll be comparing apples to apples. Let's see how Arkansas was when he got there and how is it doing now. They will no longer be a 2 party system. We'll vote for the man, not the party. I assume that they're be some statehood bias which I haven't solved yet. But I think this process gives us an opportunity to get candidates that have executive experience, and we can compare similar issues. If you can't run Kansas we know you can't run America.
This salary for this will be $1,000,000/year, with incentives. If you leave with a better financial position than when you started you get an additional $1,000,000. You can do many more incentives too, it's very similar to what large corporations do.
I'm sure there are flaws in this system, just like our current system. But I really think that the job of president just isn't that appealing to people. If you are Yale graduate Theo Epstein would you rather become the Executive Vice President/General Manager of the Boston Red Sox, and be worshiped in your home town making 1.5 million/year, or would you rather be George Bush?
