You don’t want that. France tried that, a couple of times, it didn’t work. Government ended up deadlocked and falling every 6 months. Our 5th republic granted more power to the presidency, and now it’s a little better.

What you do want, however, is the head of state and the head of government to be two distinct persons. Which is not the case in the USA.
