Random thought to restructuring democracy: President gets elected roughly same as now. After two years (a probationary term) the country has a confidence vote: keep or ditch the president. Must pass with a supermajority (60 or 66%) of the popular vote. Passes, gets another 2-4 years. Fails, an election in two months and the sitting president isn’t permitted to run. Deals with the electoral/popular vote issue, and forces an attempt to expand their base.
