So, maybe the thing to do would be to pick someone that's
actually qualified for the job, but doesn't want it, and just make
them president. And, if they do a good job they only have to serve
four years.

Can't be done anymore. Who would accept that nomination? But while
we're on the subject, who would you propose? That is a serious
question, for a change.

Would be nice if the Electoral College was made to work the way it was
intended--vote for the electors by name and let them after the fact
pick someone for the job, drafting him if necessary. Ideally anyone
who declared himself a candidate would automatically be disqualified
from consideration.
