Say the person who the public vote for is in prison (and to make it "easier", prior to running for office. Or maybe they were a write-in). That decision should lie with the voters, you say. So which takes precedence? Prison, where they are serving a sentence? Or the democratic role? After all, the same public, using their democratic rights, voted for a system in which that person was sentenced to prison. So which vote is more important? The vote that says that "X is a crime, and if you are justly convicted, the sentence is Y"? Or the vote that says "If I want you to be our leader, that's more important than that previous application of justice"?
