    I wasn’t claiming that he hasn’t been the president of France; I did, in fact, notice.

    I said that’s not what the president of France does.

    It’s like getting mad at the King of England for Canadian laws, that’s just not his responsibility, even if he is head of state.

        They’re both the respective heads of state, and they’re both not members of the legislative branches.

        So yeah, in this context they are effectively the same.
