But regardless I think it is worthwhile. Although that whole head of state thing means that the pres makes the trips abroad more than if he were just head of government.

Not just abroad. I always thought combining head of state and government into one position was a bad idea. The President spends more time making various appearances, granting awards and doing a bunch of other ceremonious things instead of actually running the country.

Indeed, although because he can't control Congress his level of being able to 'run' the country is lower. Our way has benefits but theirs does too.
