What happens in the current situation (i.e. divided government)? The "people" have elected an executive branch that promises to do one thing and a legislative that promises to do exactly the opposite.
That's not to say I totally disagree with the concept. I just think it would be more applicable to other forms of government, such as parliamentary democracies. In those, the party in power gets a much more control over the government, and there are fewer rights reserved for the minority party. In such a situation, I can envision a scenario where campaign promises could be made legally binding.
