    Truly buck wild to have a President and a Prime Minister. Gee France, how come your mom lets you have two heads of state?

    Andorra also has two heads of state, who are Princes. One is the current bishop of Urgell and the other is whomever is the president of France.

    Gee Macron, how come your mom lets you be head of state of two countries?

      The prime minister is actually the head of the government in France, the only head of state is the president.

      Ireland has the same system. Germany has a President and Chancellor (similar to a PM). The President is the head of state, similar to the position enjoyed by a monarch and the Prime Minister is the head of government. It’s quite common.
