<four Heads of State> Yes, I was, kind of, to make it more extreme and maybe easier to understand. Similar to "US-styl checks and balances", having - a house of representatives - a senate - a president - a supreme court (- a constitution) Kind of basic civics?? however, no nation have copied this system and it also clear that Afghanistan will not be the first, but they might implement a "french system". Maybe two houses, and probably an "administration" elected by both or the upper house, not by the president, or at least with some consensus and "vote of confidence" mechanisms, and a prime minister leading that "administration" or government (who makes the daily decisions). The really "french" issue is if the opposition (to or of the president, prime-minister, or whatever) should have an institutional position, vice-president, or something similar. Additionally that similar "french" issue of having "run-offs" in presidential election to ensure the one elected actually has a majority of the voters voting for him or her. *if no candidate gets more than 50% in the first round, the two with the most votes go to the "final", where one of them clearly will get more than 50% of the votes)
