@Zoë O'Connell @Sarah Brown Ireland does this quite well, I think. But it's hard to require an elected president to keep their trap shut in the same way as the monarch does, and the coverage the media would give President Farage's latest pronouncements might well guarantee the post doesn't stay powerless for long.

A president doesn’t need to be all-powerful. You can just elect someone with the similarly limited powers that the crown has in the UK.
(Admittedly this would need properly codifying to reflect the de facto powers currently exercised rather than theoretical ones)
