The President is an office that governs for all and should be elected with the idea that each vote counts as one vote and is equally valuable as all others. The legislators can represent land, the President needs to represent the people. 

The smaller states wouldn't have a voice for president. You would be denying almost half the country a voice because the cities has more population. Almost everyone I know who moved to North Dakota that was formerly Democrats turned Republican because they didn't realize what it's like to live out in the country. Being in a federal republic every state has a voice, and the more population a state has the more electoral votes it has. That is a very fair way to elect a president, because city voters mostly have no idea what it's like out in the country. It wouldn't be fair for CA and NY to control the country, because that's what it would basically be.
