I strongly agree with Matt Yglesias. Let's ditch the Vice Presidency. True, we are unlikely to do that. But I'd much rather have new elections after a vacancy opens up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The current system is so anti-democratic that it's bizarre. Of course I'd also like to see us get away from fixed-terms (or at least fixed-terms with no vote of confidence), and that's not going to happen either.
