If I am not mistaken when they hold their Presidential elections, they have a ballot that has their choice for President. And depending on their votes the electoral college breaks down candidate per state and total number of states per candidate, eventually leading to the President. I guess what I am trying to say is Americans actually have a say on the actual individual leader. You could have a local representative from one party, but a leader from another party. Or have I really screwed this up?
