Well, in a true democracy, there would be no president. Only a standing body to determine the various laws and ordinances. Which would be disbanded and go about their lives when they were not needed. Said standing body would only be called to ordered in times of crisis, times of change, or the occasional "lets talk shop because we can."
The US is not a democracy. We are currently more of a Facist Republic that is rapidly entering a total police state. Something the Europeans know all to well and many of whom are shouting at the top of their lungs trying to warn the American folk about.
The only thing that keeps America going down the hole completely are the large stockpiles of guns owned by private citizens. They are a powerful voice of reason, and will make any man, common or noble born, have a voice and some small say in the matter. Europeans take note. Your government isn't terribly interested in protecting your rights... Only protecting it's own interests. Protecting your own better interests falls on your shoulders. Your ability to voice an issue will on occasion, depend on your ability to back your words up with extreme action.
There is a long and noble history of revolution in Europe, one I appreciate.
Let them eat cake.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
