Douglas Adams got this so right so long ago.

Paraphrasing: "The job of the galactic president is not to wield power, but to draw attention away from it."

A tired old bumper sticker quote that I wholeheartedly agree with. Right along with Mark Twain's "If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it."

Also spot on from Douglas Adams.

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
