A massive eyeroll at the relativism in this thread.
Anyway, the US, unlike what someone up there was saying, was originally supposed to have a weak executive, with the legislative power being prevalent. If was only much later that the executive started gaining the cult status it has now. If you have a strong legislature, you can pick the president from the phonebook at random that it isn't going to make much difference. Of course, no country today considers a weak executive because politicians today want more power than that.
