Also, in most European states (France is similar to the US in that point), the head of state (president, king) is not the head of government (prime minister, chancellor). The former may be elected by popular vote, and has mainly representative tasks, the latter usually is elected by the parlament and drives the political decisions.

Actually France is a semi-presidential republic, unlike the US. Its President shares the executive power with the Prime Minister.
