Well, i don't expect change from politicians.* The people who
   generated the rules of government made it so nobody has that
   much power.* In short, doesn't really matter who's on top:* Even
   the official duties of president are primarily this:*
   Figurehead. It's a symbolic role. The promises they make are
   precisely the promises they CAN'T keep; their presidential
   powers don't go that far at all. So, I vote for the guy/gal with
   the funniest ears or whatever and I'm good.* Outside of
   declaring war or vetoing something, all they can do is
   persuade.* Not very powerful.
