    No, council governments already exist so I cant imagine a reason that couldnt apply to leading the federal govt as well.

    Theoretically you could also have fully Democratic processes where the President is replaced with a national voting system and every bill that would normally hit the presidents desk is voted on by the populace instead. Would have to implement National ID cards to have verified electronic voting.

    Additionally, sortition exists and IIRC is what the Roman Senate used before the triumvirate came into power. Basically, citizens were chosen at random to act as representatives for their congressional happenings instead of elected officials. Not sure if that would apply to a Presidential role, really, but kinda ties back to the Council idea above.
