US started with nothing and became, and still is, a dominant world power in just about every sense: economic, military, overall influence, one of the highest standards of living in the world, etc, so I think it's pretty fair to describe the political system in the US as "worked fine"...
it perhaps stagnated a bit last few decades, reasons for that are complex, but that has nothing to do at all with the way presidential elections are held... so I don't see any good reason why the way president is elected should be changed...
