All I can come up with is a sufficiently powerful populist executive who can get people to the primaries in unheard of numbers and has the conviction to not only turn down infinite bribes but also to bully congress into voting themselves poorer. They also will need the courage and cunning to avoid being assassinated by the wealthy powers that be. Shouldn’t be hard to find.
