Larry Lessig Believes Democracy Is Screwed. So He's Running For President To Save It. Is Lessig the One to save us from Hillary?

My question is rhetorical. I don't care how smart Larry Lessig is. He's an idiot to think he can be the POTUS, then quit if his reforms pass. But, maybe he's not. You never know what the voters are going to do.

WASHINGTON -- Larry Lessig, a well-known legal theorist and political activist, is taking the plunge into electoral politics, announcing on Tuesday that he will formally explore a run for the presidency in 2016 as a Democrat.

Lessig, a Harvard law professor, will be a distinctly unconventional White House aspirant. In an interview, he said he will run on a singular platform: the Citizen Equality Act, which includes campaign finance reform, an end to partisan gerrymandering, and a vast expansion of voting access that would make Election Day a national holiday. Should he win and lead the passage of that agenda, Lessig said he'll promptly quit, handing the office to his vice president, whoever that may be.
