My brother's rationale is:

His version would have us collectively decide on a qualified person and SENTENCE them to serve for 4 years -- figuring that only somebody who loathed the office would discharge its duties with the proper spirit.
Sadly, the grain of truth underlying my brother's sarcasm is a bit saddening.
He must have read (and really liked) "Le Sceptre du Hasard" (The Scepter Of Chance) (1968) by Gerard Klein! :yes:
