I've been musing about ideals and the ideal form of government and come to the conclusion that an appointed representative republic is ideal.
At a federal level: Re zone congressional districts Take social security numbers of citizens in the district Raffle congressional representative by selecting one SSN per congressional district. They will serve one term of 4 years After their term, they are barred from ever holding federal office again Pay will be salaried based on the yearly average income of the constituents in the district President will be selected by raffle of all citizens born in the USA not holding multiple citizenships, that has served in military or the clergy, with no criminal record, president will serve no more than 2, 4 year terms Senators will be appointed by state congress
State Level: Process for electing will be left to the states to decide
Lobbying: The people will be allowed to submit legislation for consideration via internet All laws regarding new taxes, social policy or criminal will require 75% vote in congress and a 2/3rds popular vote to pass. Any laws repealing existing legislation would require a simple majority.
Would this work?

That's a pretty good one, but those do tend to get expensive when they agree to give themselves raises.

Corporate Republic.
Any entity with enough resources can fund a Senator. This might be a million people, one person with a ton of land, a coalition of small businesses or one large company.
Think of it as a modern SPQR.

>What Is Your Ideal Form of Government? No government. I own myself, and I don't need welfare queens living off of the fruits of my labor to decide how I live my life from their air conditioned safespace in the cesspool that is D.C.

Federal: 2 senators from each state, one appointed by State Legislature, the second elected by a popular vote in their state. Serves one 5-year term.
Representatives have no more than 400 seats in Congress, enumerated by state population. Each district elects a rep via popular vote. Serves up to two 3-year terms.
President, one- 6-year term: Each state nominates a candidate via popular vote. National poll selects the top 5 of those choices (each citizen ranks their top-5 choices). A second national poll drops the two least-liked candidates (based on unfavorability ratings). This curbs people like Hillary from making it to the top. With the 3 remaining candidates, each state tallies their citizens' popular choice and the candidate to receive the plurality of state votes wins.
All laws require 3/5 from both houses to pass (1/2 plus 1 to repeal). No Presidential veto power. All regulatory laws expire after 6 years unless re-approved. This prevents a Federal regulatory bureaucracy and special interest infestation. Standard US Amendments with some immutable ones and revisions: 2nd Amendment simply states a right to keep and bear arms; no direct taxes (income tax, payroll, corporate tax, etc.); 14th Amendment to change birthright citizenship into having been born of a natural citizen; no 16th Amendment (obviously).
All federal voting requires minimum age of 25 and two-spouse marriage. Divorce constitutes a permanent revocation of Federal voting. All Federal offices require a minimum age of 30, cannot hold Federal offices if previously served as a Congressman, President, or other cabinet member.
