Biden's only one of very many presidents who have acted as a face to an administration that dosen't necessarily need or use him in a functional way, Trump is probably the best modern example other than Reagan who we now know was experiencing Alzheimer's while in office and was most certainly incapable for much of his admins time. W and Clinton were both seen as the face man of an admin full of technocrats and ideoloughs. The truth of that is more likely that just any head of the executive branch requires so many people in key positions that no one is really running the show all that directly by the nature of the office.

This is also true of large corporations, and it's why the C-suite and upper management can spend all their time and energy on battling for their positions in the hierarchy rather than doing anything related to the actual business.

I suppose a nation being run by a collective of people would be more representative of Democratic approach. Kings are bad (even though capitalism technically turned us into a collective of kings that influence the governing body)
