I could get behind it, but would add a wrinkle that full random sortition from the populace should be used for the elected representatives. I kind of feel like an elected government service notice should be viewed the same way as a jury summons—an understanding that it is a serious and important duty, but one that comes with an “oh crap” attitude.
For me, with our current political system in the US, every candidate disqualifies themselves be simply having the level of narcissism needed to believe that they belong in office because they are the most qualified person for that office. Especially at the level of POTUS.
