This is true. Although I still think it's better than what we have. This is why I suggested a committee to help improve the system. The electoral college is a joke.

Definitely. At least on a temporary basis. I'm not so sure about letting congress pick the new ones, but if it's a combination of congress and the committee representatives from each district, I believe they could come to terms and at least nominate some worthy candidates and/or help reform the system. I doubt this would happen often (except maybe the first time), but the system definitely needs reform, IMO.
