We'd also have a nearly perpetual campaign season -- imagine if Clinton had been able to campaign for a no-confidence vote. He would have. The party would have also just kept putting up patsies to knock down in favor of the no-confidence vote. It would potentially allow a President to hold the reigns of power perpetually.
It sounds nice, but I'd be worried about unintended consequences here.
