Lol the AG would become very political and would do things for purely partisan/re-election reasons.



The Attorney General would be no more politicized than it became under the Trump administration.  At least under this new system, he or she would owe their job not to the President, but to the American people, and so cannot be summarily fired if they refuse to do the bidding of the President. 


You do realize the AG would probably be much less competent and more partisan? Ted Cruz could be the AG rn lol



The AG is getting increasingly politicized and if the people want to elect Ted Cruz, they should have that decision

Authentic populism means that everyone has a say

Actually, I think I agree with you now. I also think all the Cabinet should be elected, including Secretary of State, Defence, etc.
