AH Challenge: Technocratic USA

With a POD no sooner than 1929, have the USA adopt a system that can be called technocratic. Rule by the skilled, etc. The ruling class of engineers, professors, and other experts of their fields decide on what must be done. Bonus points if you don't involve "Technocracy, Inc."
 
I'd think it would need a different electoral process, I don't know what exactly. Perhaps the cabinet has to be made up of people qualified to hold the department, so Defence should have been in the military, Agriculture been a farmer, State been a diplomat and so on.

They already have it, it's called rule by Harvard, Yale, Columbia etc law school graduates. They are the "best and brightest" and therefore it is their right and duty to tell everybody else what to do.
