It is so polarized that programs that could make a difference never get the chance take root and grow. The last major initiative that America has under took and managed to see through, across multiple administrations, was the Apollo program. Beyond that, it is one part trying to implement a system, only to see it killed the minute the next one takes power. Nothing ever gets accomplished. The system is completely broken, and one man, one rule, limited term isn't going to fix the continuity problem.
I was sort of joking, but if you want to look deeper into it, I'm all for a 1 man ruling body the elimination of parliment or congress of the senate and every answers to him, of course he would need a series of advisors to provide for effective time management, and who could theoretically provide him with the data that he needs to make decisions.

A strictly enforced limited term of 10 years would do for me
