Of course congress represents the voters better, not only for those reasons you listed but also because Congress consists of people representing smaller groupings of Americans (such as a state congressional leader representing the will of those in a state) and as a result more people of different backgrounds are being represented. When you have more leaders splitting up larger populations than more people can actually be represented since it is easier for their voices to be heard. Also, Congressional leaders are voted on by a direct vote, so the exact majority of their region voted them in, representing those people more adequately. The president is not only trying to be the leader of a whole nation, but he/she is elected through an electoral college meaning that not everyone’s vote counts to the same extent as those in Congress. Make sense? I could go into more detail if you need…or private message me if you need help!
