You realize that this person will not get elected, right?

If voters are remotely rational (arguable), they will know that you can't hand someone power and then expect them not to use it because they promised. A rational voter would likely also realize that their fellow voters are not sufficiently informed to be the best way to decide.

If voter are irrational (also arguable), this person gives then next to zero emotional appeal.

And then there's the logistical problem that you don't know about lots of votes - e.g., amendments - three days in advance.
