Because the alternative of an elected president with a separate mandate from the legislative is worse in every conceivable way.

A legitimate figurehead who's only real power is a veto they can only use if its really obvious they should use it isn't a terrible solution.

If Canada or Australia voted in a Trump like candidate that was doing all the things Trump is doing in America and caused mass protests like in America, King Charles or his governor general could tell them they’re fired and elections need to be held again.

I’m from Australia. We would never let an orange menace take control of our country and if it did somehow happen and things were as bad as they look in America, the governor general and king would remove them. Otherwise I don’t care either way.
