I had written:
"A variation of this might be having cabinet members drawn from
elected members of government, a form of governance some of us are
well acquainted with. I believe you Yanks aren't allowed such an
option but I think it might be an improvement."
to which Robert replied:
"It is 'allowed' here. Many members of Congress have been appointed to
various presidents' cabinets."
Perhaps I wasn't clear. The form of governance I was referring to was
one where an individual serves as both a Cabinet member and an elected
official.. That is prohibited by the U.S. constitution.
