i see what you're saying. Obviously the past president should continue until a suitable replacement is found.
I think that a lot of people who would vote "no confidence" aren't happy with the job he did.
It also creates the problem that he will stay in power indefinitely if nobody else gets found.

Hell, pick people at random. We keep hearing all this rhetoric about power to the people, but not once have the actual citizens of this country ever determined anything in America, besides casting votes for mostly hand picked representatives.
Randomly picking people certainly have an appeal.

You could just randomly pick one of the people who are registered to vote in a district that votes no confidence and sent him to congress (if he declines another gets picked randomly) and give congress the power to elect a president when no candidate gets more than the no confidence vote.

A randomly elected person still isn't the people anymore than a congressman at the moment but getting a few outsides into congress might be what people who vote no confidence want.
