I heard a similar argument for kings and queens. Like they're preselected, no fucking around. Theyre literally bred for the job, and if they piss the people off too much they get violently taken out, and if they do a bad job of keeping the country safe they get took over and get violently taken out. Their one shot at remaining alive is to keep things running pretty well.
I like your idea better though.
