Both sound like good ideas to me.
The idea that a President might pardon himself makes us prone to turning into a dictatorship, putting one man too far above the law.
Eliminating the electoral college and going with a national popular vote is also an improvement, making sure everybody gets a meaningful vote for President, not just swing state voters.  
Note that if you don't include a runoff election you become more like Mexico and less like Brazil or France. A runoff election would be needed.

That's called a democracy and is fundamentally flawed. Our system is a constitutional republic specifically designed to fight against a democracy. In a democracy it's simply mob rule, that's great when your in the majority but come see me when your a minority and tell me you still thinks it's a good idea.
