Dnate is, once again, talking his proposal for a constitutional change that would establish a US-style presidential system for the CDS. While I think this is not nearly as objectionable as proposals for life-time appointed leaders, it still has some problems. What Dnate has proposed is a system were the elected president and administration is involved in, and with an easy veto generally shapes the legislative process.
In our current system the chancellor deals with day to day executive decisions, and not with legislation. The executive does have quite a bit of influence in the RA, drawing up the budget and making recommendations, but in practice few resources for controlling the legislative process. Note that the current system is a compromise that neither side is completely happy with, but represents an acceptable medium between a US and non-US models.
A US-style system, whatever its costs and benefits in RL, would be much more a problem in a tiny volunteer organization like the CDS. We are not a nation and barely even a block association. Consider:
1. Having a single central leader tends to lead to dependancy. We saw this before with UZ and co. If that person ever decides to quit, or is unable to lead the organization it can become paralyzed or even go out of existence.

2. The leader has much better scope for taking initiatives, but they better take those initiatives, because no one else will be able to, or be motivated to carry them out. In particular in RL government the relationship is one of command, since work is payed for at RL market rates. In contrast, the CDS relies on volunteers.


We saw how this worked with the portal project. Great idea, but the Chancellor did not have the resources to do it himself. (It might have cost about US$ 40,000 to 80,000 at current market rates.) We could have has a volunteer project, but that would have required giving scope and credit to the people doing the work.
In many case, (not necessarily now where we have a chancellor with limited power) strong central leaders tend to be jealous of other people getting credit. This often does demotivate volunteers who start initiatives. On the other hand, volunteer work done by NGOs does provide greater opportunities for participation and recognition.

3. I happen to believe that the CDS would be best off with a minimal, efficient government and with more projects being carried out by NGOs. Centrally commanded organizations, in a push to increase their power and scope, tend to want to grow and take over more and more aspects of life. Going to a US-style presidential system is likely to greatly increase the size and complexity of the executive branch.
Once again, I am not running for office in the CDS. These are just my opinions as a concerned citizen, and do not reflect the opinions of any political faction.
