Why not just cut out 1) all together. Let people get chosen randomly.

How do you get rid of them? Term limits? Then we go back to the problem of having people who can get things done...

By default, after one term they are dismissed. Only exception is that few of them (like one or two) that are judged as good are kept.
Think evolution algorithm on a government scale.

Judged as good?

Imagine if your doctor was chosen randomly.
It really does take experience, connections, networks, and skill to accomplish things in legislatures. Same with getting elected.
The problem is in order to become #2, you have to become #1.
Unless we as voters become far more informed and drastically change the way we evaluate candidates I don't think we'll get #2 skillsets from politicians who also don't have the qualities many term limit advocates despise.
