My choice would be Neil de Grasse Tyson. As a scientist, Tyson would make decisions about the economy based on the facts, rather than ideology. And he would work hard to repair the faltering American education system. His running mate would be George Takei, who is simply awesome. Ideally, Takei would handle all press conferences, and would deal with detractors by hitting on them.

You're a genius.

Replace the office of president with a "people's pen" whereby a simple majority vote of the people in favor of a bill causes the bill to be "signed" and a simple majority against is a veto.

This would save the country billions of dollars and also result in superior government.

I would like Hillary as prez a lot, basically a continuation of Obama's presidency but without any of this "try to make nice with the GOP who hates you" foolishness.

Are you kidding me?
Hillary wants to censor the internet, raise taxes, and create a more aggressive foreign policy.
Hell, back a few years ago, she and Scamtorum were buddies. They worked together to censor the internet
