Fishbowl Presidency

About the Book

A political unknown is elected U.S. president. He abolishes, by presidential executive order, the Democratic and Republican parties and chooses his administrative officers by putting several well-qualified candidates' names in a fishbowl and drawing a name from the bowl. This is his effort to make his administration an American administration, comprised of ex-Democrats, Republicans and ethnic groups. It cannot be said that this new President is partial to one group of people.
