So now I don't get a vote?

It's not an unreasonable position to say that at least one branch of the federal government should be directly elected by the consensus will of the nation. And if so, then the presidency is the obvious candidate since no matter what you ultimately end up with just one person who can't realistically represent multiple viewpoints on the same issue.

An it isn't inconsistent to not extend this to every branch.
