Because of how things are supposed to be set up (as opposed to how they
actually are) and that's what we were taught in school.

Presidents, Biden especially, are like the Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy's
President of the Galaxy.

"The President in particular is very much a figurehead - he wields no real
power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities
he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely
judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice,
always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power
but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria Zaphod Beeblebrox is one
of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had - he has already
spent two of his ten presidential years in prison for fraud."
- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

 WD> Politicians don't make the country, it's the people that do.

But the Elitists have been working for literally decades to prevent the people
from running the country.
