"Professionalizing" ambassadors would mean they no longer work for the president - another chip away at our democracy in favor of the unelected administrative state.

That's great, but tell me how a system where a morning news anchor almost ended up the US Ambassador to the UN is one worth defending.

UN Ambassador is a different role, more like a Cabinet post. Which means it should still be filled by someone who speaks for the POTUS, but also that the Senate should scrutinize their qualifications. Not take control from POTUS.
