Re: Sure
Not with our current highest level of government in the US. But with some other forms of government, you can do that. Boards of Directors are kind of like that. The members of an organization vote for several candidates, based on their skills and interests and how well they represent the interests of the members, and then once the most favored candidates get elected onto the board, they often naturally fall into a position where they are best suited according to their skills and interests.
I believe that the Cambridge City Council works that way too.
