This sounds a lot like a republic. Which is what the US has now. The big problem is that democracy is hard. What we need is a better way to elect our representatives. One problem is that there is no term limits on the representatives and many of them make a career out of it where it's more important to get elected than to look out for the country's well being. Giving representatives a limit on how many a person can be elected would change that.
