The queen has no power so why should a president be any different? It would be like a mayor if we actually needed one at all. She's just a spare part really.
So in essence you wish to replace like for like on the premise that one would be there by "popular agreement" and the other removed by the same electorate ? May as well stick with the status quo as , if the EU referendum is anything to go by , the result will always be questioned .
Mind you President Merkel does have a certain ring about it .
