I think Herodotus said it best: "A multitude of rulers is not a good thing. Let there be one ruler, one king."
The problem with your idea is that it gets too buearacratic slowing the decision making prcocess. The whole point of the executive branch is to make quick fast emergency descions, thats why the president is given that power and not congress. It is congress's job to be slow, meticulous, and careful in their decision making to make the best descions and not quick ones.

I sincerely think you are missing the concept, and as such your comment is terribly elementary. I don’t require your rendition of how my government works as I am more than familiar. I ask you to think on a level that is worthy of reading and discussing this concept as that’s the point of this web site. I don’t require your approval of an idea to know it’s novel and viable, but I’ll respond because I sense that you are very young. Out of curiosity; just how quickly do you think the President makes a decision? Do you think it is made in a second (if you do, that’s the problem with your thinking)? Do you realize that yes there is time taken for briefings, counsel, recommendations etc. that typically occurs before decisive action is ever taken. Also consider for a moment individual interpretative framework, illness (mental/physical) etc. Are you thinking yet; if you are then you should be saying, %u201CMy that is an awful lot of power%u201C. The power behind my idea centers around equal representation for the people of my country, and not only equal representation but moderated representation by a 2/3 majority. Remember this is a discussion about an %u201CIDEA%u201C, by not sharing ideas on the topic defeats the purpose. This is not an exercise of you attempting to inform on a regurgitated elementary level (which is obvious), no this is an exercise in “THINKING”. SO THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!!!

you remind me of hilary clinton you don’t cover the issue you only talk about how experienced you are. You had no rebuttal to his argument, he said that executive decisions should be left to one person to expediate some of the political process and keep an organized and functional system of government intact. You came back with a completely ad hominem attack saying he was young and stupid. You fail to understand what debating is about, by thinking that all your ideas are superior and that no one else can match your intellectual superiority you fail to find the legitimacy in his argument and allow for no contrast to your own ideals and therefore make your ideals weaker.
