The American President

So I have this theory…

Now that the USA is the world's sole superpower, and given that the USA uses up most of the world's resources and spews most of the world's greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, I think it might be time to change the way we elect the person in charge of this mess. In a nutshell, I think the President of the United States should be elected by an electoral college picked from the all the countries in the world.

Essentially, the President is now so powerful, it doesn't make sense for the American people to elect him anymore. In fact, it/05/make sense to pick a candidate from the whole world, not just from native-borne American citizens. Can you imagine what the world would be like if the US was run by Vaclav Havel?
