We need an election system similar to Germany. Ranked-choice voting for single-member constituencies and a party list vote system would be a better system. The President would be elected by ranked-choice voting. As you suggested before, it would probably be a good idea to split the executive branch between the President and the Speaker of the House, so the Presidency wouldn't be too strong.
Ranked choice voting is as close to plurality as you can get and still call it a "reform," if you stick with single-seat districts. Single-winner elections are a far bigger enabler of the doom loop than the inability to rank candidates.
