You can't have a president without abolishing the Queen though. A president is an elected head of state, whereas the Queen is an inherited head of state. A prime minister is something completely different.

That's right. The Prime Minister of Britain is equivalent to the US Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The Equivilent to David Cameron in the US is not Obama, it is John Boehner, the Speaker of the House of Representitives (the majority leader).

That's why when the UK PM visits the US he never gets a state visit reception. The Equivalent to the President is the Queen, and that's why only the Queen get's official State visits with the President.
