In a parliamentary system, the head of state is more ceremonial. In a presidential system, the head of state has the power (e.g. France, USA)

The US has combined the head of state and head of government in a single position (President), so it doesn't make sense to say either has more power. France is indeed one of the (many) exceptions with a semi-presidential system where the head of state has more power.
