I think the mob can delegate its legislative power to one man. Ussually thats disasterous historically I agree because the worst type of people tend to get elected. The good thing about an old monarchy no real elections.

The original intent behind the Constitution, with the electoral college, was to prevent the President from being elected directly by the mob. It was a good idea, but they only made a half-hearted effort to make it stick. I would agree that the Presidency should not be an elected position at all, but we still need an elected House of Representatives to keep him in his place.
