I've been thinking about this tempting suggestion - but not sure it's a good idea. Sometimes we need a LEADER and not just a follower of public opinion. There's the wisdom of crowds, but certainly also the stupidity of crowds. I think this might be hugely destabilizing and disruptive - "popular coup d'etat"... but after these past 8 years, I get the sentiment for sure!

The thing is, the US is not a Democracy, it's a Republic. Our Constitution is set up to protect us against the rule of the majority against the minority. We have the ability to get rid of a President - it's impeachment. A similar INDIRECT way as how we vote him or her in. I agree about your number 3 but we'd have had the VICE president then - which I think would have been even worse!
