That is an interesting idea and is actually working for many years in Switzerland, in fact, since 1848...

Switzerland’s political system is characterized by a federal structure, direct democracy, and a unique system of government, where 7 Federal Councillors collectively serve as the head of state and government

Notable Facts:

- Switzerland has had 7 Federal Presidents since 1848, with each serving for a year.

- The first Federal President was Jonas Furrer (1805-1861).

The longest-serving Federal Councillor was Ulrich Ochsenbein (1809-1872), who served for 24 years.

- The Federal Council has always included representatives from the country’s four main language regions (German,French, Italian, and Romansh).

Key Takeaways:

Switzerland’s political system is characterized by a collective head of state and government, ensuring stability and balance.

The rotation of the President role promotes consensus-building and prevents any single individual from dominating the government.

The Federal Council’s departmental structure allows for specialized expertise and effective governance.
