American Political Offices no Longer Filled by Elections

In a bold move, the American people have decided to do away with elections and all of their associated corruptions in favor of a new and more equitable way to distribute power: a lottery.

"We, Americans, are tired of the stalemate / status quo crap of our political system. If politicians are too busy constantly worrying about their re-elections to actually get any work done for their bosses, the American people, then we need to relieve the politicians of this undo burden. You are all fired."

"All previously elected positions will be filled via a lottery. All American citizens of legal voting (or age 35 and native born for Presidential elections) shall from henceforth be a part of a lottery pool to fill these governmental positions. And as each term ends, another lottery will take place to fill the position for the next term."

When asked if this was a recipe for disaster (considering any idiot could win the lottery for a position), the response was, "Isn't that the way it is already? Anything is an improvement."
