Gotta fix the top of operating system before suggesting a lowly cabinet position that will be ignored anyhow. There are fundamental problems with the incestuous corporations buying off the news media and the politicians, combined with a broken and corrupt system which has failed in Romantic ways. Things which the illegitimate, corrupt politicians cannot or will not address. This doesn't mean throw everything away or wait by the phone for incrementalism, but multiple, major, decisive changes are vital in order to level the playing field for public servants. 0) Only allow X dollars per campaign from named, naturalized, human beings to fund specific candidates, and the candidates must disclose how it must be spent only on that campaign. No more super PACs or dark money pools. 0.5) No more special interest political smear ads. Again, the clear and present danger to the republic by manipulating elections supercedes unlimited "freedom" to persuade people that "clean coal" is good for them. 1) Make it a felony for any elected official to accept any compensation, gift or privilege including food, goods, services, vacations or exclusive event participation. Politicans are there to be public servants, not cut book deals or consulting gigs. 2) Matching public campaign funds to private funds. 3) Make it a felony for a for-profit news organization to be funded by advertisements or politicians. 4) Eliminate the electoral college: it has failed, twice. Replace it with national popular ranked vote (1st Sally, 2nd Joe, ...) 5) Eliminate jerrymandering by redrawing all districts based on a simple, deterministic, open-source algorithm finding population centroids. Tweaks to this law can only be enacted to fix flaws and edge-cases without predetermined favoritism. 6) News media embargo on manipulating election results from a day before early voting starts until after all final results are in, punishable by a 10 years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine. 7) National voter conformance: national vote on the same day, permanent absentee voting by mail, early voting (two weeks), same day registration for in-person and open-source blockchain tabulation with a paper (non-thermal) receipt. No discriminatory "poll tax" or bureaucratic hoops laws. Period.
