I agree that education is vital to improve democracy, but I think you're making an unfair comparisson, comparing Denmark to the US. It'd be more relevant to compare the US to the European Union. How many Danish people hold the European Parlaiment accountable, or the Commission, or the Council, or the lobbyists in Brussels, or god knows what. My suggestions is more subsidiarity. There isn't really a reason for the US President to handle healthcare or education when the states can do it (which most of them already do). Thus, if there's less to do for the president, the people would only have to hold him accountable on a smaller budget, on fewer issues. Something that's considerably easier than the gigantic thing they have to administrate right now.
