Very interesting idea, there must be some SciFi works on this subject.

Would the ePresident be fixed for their term of office (no upgrades whilst in post)? Could you ask it questions as a citizen before voting to know how it would respond for any given parameter set? Would it be programmed according to the Three Laws?

Perhaps all parties could submit an ePresident candidate and each could get a vote on all actions based on the proportion of the population who voted for it.
