    seems to me like a nationally elected UN rep would just end up being a lower tier of Presidential election, so it would probably get fought over by the Buttigiegs of the country,

        The more I think about it though the more I think it would probably do a lot of good to have a national election that revolves entirely around foreign policy. People might actually learn a little bit about other countries, and a niche party could hijack that to get some based foreign policy ideas into the public consciousness.

          Could be a good thing in theory, but I just don't think they'd allow those kinds of positions a platform even if they did let foreign policy be voted on.
