Exactly my point. It's outlived its usefulness. In addition to that, it was never a great system of government to begin with; it only seemed like it because there wasn't much competition at the time for democratic governments. These days, we have lots of examples of nations with better systems of government, and as far as I can tell, they're all parliamentary systems. Having the Executive separately elected sounds like a good idea if you only have experience with monarchies, but in practice it doesn't work out very well.
