The President does too much. Let's cut it into 2.

[Bush did 311]

Because the US is such a powerful country with so much influence in the world, the president is in charge of such a broad range of things. It doesn't give citizens the ability to fine-tune US policy on each issue, so they are usually dissatisfied.

I think it would be interesting to split the presidency into 2 positions that are elected separately - a President and a Chancellor. One would set a domestic agenda and be in charge of running the country. The other would take over foreign matters, and the cabinet positions would be split accordingly under each.

Could even do 3 splits, like having a separate PM as well. If one of them does a lousy job we can fire them without giving the country a full lobotomy on the things that are still going well.

Thoughts?
