I’m not really a fan, but look at “Mayor” Pete Buttigeg. One of the biggest attacks against him when he ran was “being president is not the same as being a mayor” (meanwhile we’ll elect CEOs like their experience means anything, but that’s a whole other problem).

Y’all also elect representatives and senators as presidents, but that’s the legislative branch so that actually has less in common with presidency than mayors or CEOs, both of which are more executive branch roles
