There's something to be said for having a purely ceremonial head of state, so that people don't feel constrained to feel any respect whatsoever for the politicians who have made it to the top, unless they show they deserve it by their actions.

Mind, I never understand why being compared to a fundamental part of the human anatomy, without which we'd very rapidly be in very serious trouble, should be considered an insult.

Pretty obviously, the President of the United States is potentially the most dangerous person on the planet. He could pretty well destroy us all. That's why the rest of us get a bit worried about that kind of thing.
